Birthday: October 10th 1999 Likes: Looking out his front door to see where the neighbor's cats are Pet-Peeves: cats in his yard and the garbage truck Favorite Toy: rope...he loves to play tug-of-war Favorite Food: Natural Balance Favorite Walk: Back yard Best Tricks: Begging for Greenies and running critters out of his yard Arrival Story: Spike was the largest of his siblings and noboby wanted him because they all said he was too large for a Miniature Schnauzer. They also said he was mean. He is not mean. He's a very loving little fellow. Spike came all the way from Beaumont, Texas to Lafayette, Louisiana. Update on 3/28/2009: In reviewing Spike's AKC registration I discovered his pawrents lived in Ingleside, TX; his father's name is Buckie and his mother's name is Yentl Die Schonste Dame and Spike came to live with us on December 4, 1999. His registration name is "Spike the Spiderman." Spike went to the Rainbow Bridge on October 12, 2009 after battling "undifferentiated sarcoma." He will be furever loved and furever in my heart. I miss his arrroooos and perky personality already and he's only been gone a few hours. Bio: My human sibling calls me "Robo-dog." Mom calls me a ham if she's home when I start making roo-roo sounds at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. every day. That's because I expect my Greenie and Beggin' Strip treats to be on time!! Don't they eat on time?? They sure do, so give me my treats every day and I will be a happy camper. If I'm ignored I'll run around making huffing and puffing noises and my roo-roos get louder until I get my treats!!!
UPDATE: My fursis Miracle was diagnosed with AIHA in August 2008 and it quickly took her away from us. It stands for Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia. It is a serious and often fatal blood disease in which the body attacks its own red blood cells. Pawlease consider donating just a dollar to help find a cure for this horrific disease. To do so just visit another fur who lost her life to AIHA long before we knew what it was. Her name is Mica and she is helping raise money to find a cure: mica-the wonderpup. Just donate a $1 for this worthy cause. It's been approved by Dogster. Please do it for Miracle. We love and miss her terribly. Forums Motto: King of The Yard
but I'm not really counting...it's mom who counts the minutes, the hours, the days, the weeks, the months, and the years. Now that she got her way in posting to my diary I've got to bark out loud to all my furiends a great big THANK YOU fur the rosettes, pressies and special messages on what would have been my 12th barkday Monday and fur those received today on the anniversary of my bridge crossing. Ya'll are very special to me.
I gotta say mom was pleased with Bella, Scooter and Jiffy today cuz they all posed fur the Halloween picfurs. AAAaaaarrrooooo!!! That's cuz I had a special talk with them last night while mom was sleeping. I put them pawsitive thoughts in their little heads to be good and let mom get a pawfect picture. Yay!!
Now.... let's celebrate with more Greenies today!!! The pawty has not stopped!!
Spike, I'm taking over your diary today....love always, Mom.
Although I did have a little time to say good-bye, I wasn't ready to do it two years ago...this poem still speaks volumes because my little Spikester will always have a place in my heart. And, the tears still flow when I think about him not here with me. My life changed so much after I had to let him go on his journey home, but not a day goes by that I don't think of him. He was a special little fellow who stole my heart from the very first time he was handed to me back in 1999. He grew to be such a handsome guy and was extremely smart. Today I still call the ottoman "Spike's ottoman" because he claimed it as his very own. Now it sits in the living room, but none of the others get on it. Maybe they know it belongs to Spike and he comes visit to lay on it at night. When I go outside with the other dogs I can't help but think how much Spike would have enjoyed this new big back yard. He loved to be outside trotting along the fence line and sniffing the smells of where any critters dared to tread. He was and always will be King of the Yard. I hope he comes to visit at night.
Stairway to Heaven....for my little buddy:
If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
... No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.
My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.
God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.
I Knew you for a Moment
Mom was coming in here to write something, but got the leaky eyes after reading all the special messages fur me. Aaaarrooo!! Aaarrooo! THANK YOU my dearest furiends fur thinking of me on my barkday. Mom, you cannot take over my diary...it's MY day. I know she's been thinking about me a lot lately and because I'm such a special handsome dude she can never get over me. I'm entwined in her heartstrings furever and ever!! We'll always be the bestest of buddies.
Twelve years ago I was given life on the Earth, nobody wanted me cuz them crazy hoomans said I was too big to be a Miniature Schnauzer, but fate brought me to my mom's arms one day and it was love at first sight. Sheba never had puppies, but she thought I was her own little baby whom she mothered as soon as mom put me down. We were inseparable and now we are inseparable here in Doggie Heaven. Aaaroooo!! Mom, quit boo-hooing and think about what we're doing today. We are having one of the biggest pawties in MY honor today. It's time to get this pawty started!! Look out below cuz you are gonna hear the paw stomping all day long!! As Wyoming said the sky will be bright tonight as the pawty goes on. And watch out cuz my star will be the one shining brightest. Aaarroooo!!! Aaarrooo!!
