A FEW WORDS FROM GIZMO

I type these words with a heavy heart. Isham is gone. Not in heaven, just gone. A few weeks ago he left and was found a few days later in Bakersfield,  almost 20 miles from here. We had not been reunited more than five hours before he left again, with no word now in almost three weeks, even though alerts and all points bulletins have been posted all over Northern Vermont.

 

Mom and Dad think that he decided that he simply wanted to move on. For his first two years here he was clearly top dog, getting (for those of you who know him)  more than his share of attention. Since my arrival more than 18 months ago, that spotlight has been shared, as has the duties of greeting guests, joining them on walks, playing with guests dogs and generally being cute. Mom and Dad think his ego may have been bruised and (to the extent that us dogs can reason) therefore the grass might be greener etc etc.

We all miss him terribly but hope that wherever he has landed he is happy. Mom found a prayer to help all of us in this position.

Love, Gizmo

Albert Schweitzer's Prayer for the Animals

Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends the animals, especially for the animals who are suffering; for any that are hunted or lost, or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death. We entreat for them all thy mercy and pity and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words,. Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals and to share the blessings of the merciful.
