Goodbye Sweet Honey

We lost our beautiful Honey on Saturday, December 20, 2008 from cancer. Honey was the ambassador of golden retrievers - soft, loving, and obedient - a true golden angel. She is in our hearts always. Here is my homage to Honey:

She had the brightest eyes I had ever seen,

And wore a beautiful fur coat that would out shine a queen .

She was never prissy but walked with an aire......

And oh so polite, you could take her most anywhere.

Her tail was so long it touched the ground,

Every bone that she buried, she always found,

She could run like the wind and beat anyone she chased

She was truly a princess – with a gorgeous white face.

But your bed is now empty, where your pretty head laid.

Oh how we wish you could have stayed,

You could not find a golden nearly so dear.

Sweet Honey-buns, you will always have a special place in our hearts, ever near.
