Niki Mcbee on Eternal Patrol - Page 3

My condolences. It is always difficult to lose a loved one.

Sea Demon · 03-18-08, 02:14 PM

I was very sorry to hear about this.

Take comfort in the fact that while he was alive, he had a great life. That is obvious. He looked like a very happy and well cared for dog. You took care of him like people everywhere should take care of their animals.

It's not easy to go through this. These animals become members of your family. Unfortunately, our little critters don't last as long as we do. 2 Springs ago, we had to put down my wife's 24 year old cat. A cat she got as a little girl. A real old, longtime friend if you will. It hurt to do it, so I understand how it is. But just remember the good times you had with Niki McBee, and take comfort that you gave Niki the best life a dog could have. I can tell you did.

The Power of the Dog
by
Rudyard Kipling

There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie--
Perfect passsion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart to a dog to tear.

When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet's unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find--it's your own affair--
But ... you've given your heart to a dog to tear.

When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!)
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone--wherever it goes--for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

We've sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we've kept 'em, the more do we grieve:
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-term loan is as bad as a long--
So why in--Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

RIP Niki McBee
