      You took the breath
		Right out of me
		You left a hole
		Where my heart should be.
		My baby boy, my lil man, has left this life and left 
		me behind.
		The only thing he ever did wrong, is leave my side way too damn early.
		I miss him so damn much
 
		
		
		April 22, 07 on the ocean in Rhode Island. He was thinking twice about 
		trying to walk on water
		to catch the swans that were there.  I had no idea this would be 
		our last happy weekend together before the cancer quickly ravaged his 
		body and took him too damn soon. 
 
		
			
				My Fairy King 
				did leave today....
				He slipped away so quiet....
				He did not want to see my tears....
				He did not want to haunt my nights...
				My Fairy King was such a dog
				One that we all hope for in our life...
				He gave his all from birth til death....
				Never complaining, always there...
				Far seeing into life......
				Almost knowing that time was short
				He gave his all to me....
				My Fairy King did leave today....
				I weep......

				 To lose 
				newborns is sad...
				To lose old is hurtful...
			
				To lose the 
				Heart Dog is almost unbearable 
				but the Gods give them to us when they are needed.
				
				  It was a miracle he survived 
				his puppyhood illness, but he did it to break my heart too damn 
				soon.
		
		If you are lucky enough, you will be gifted with the 
		joy of a heart pet in your life. You love all your animals, but there'll 
		be one that you love more, that is, well, almost a soulmate to you. They 
		are special beyond belief, and you can't imagine life without them.  
		They wrap their little paws around your heart and dig those claws in 
		deep. Even before they are gone, to think of losing them tears into your 
		heart. And when they do go, it's like a knife has been stabbed into your 
		heart over and over and over, as they take a piece of that heart with 
		them. It is total and complete hell, but the ride is worth it.
		I have been incredibly lucky, I have had two. 
		Schatzi was my first heart pet, but after I 
		lost him, Obie stepped up to the  plate and became my second.  
		And now my heart grieves afresh, but I hope he, like Schatzi, comes back 
		to me in the future.
 
		
		
		He retired lacking 8 points towards his LCX, all 
		earned honestly, 1/3 of 
		the way towards his LCM, and almost 1/2 way towards his GRC. Obie was 
		always the perfect puppy, he never did anything wrong that I can 
		remember. Yes, he was creative in his Obedience attempts, but that's 
		typical borzoiness. . .I love his hugs, I love his snuggles, I love his 
		personality. He was one of a kind, and I hope he comes back to me soon.
		
		(with his sister Rocko 1/07)
		I regret now all the circumstances that kept him from reaching his full 
		potential. 
		
		
      
		Can you believe it was almost July and he was just  blowing his 
		winter coat?
		  So much I love about this boy.
		You can see his absolutely sweet personality in this picture, you really 
		can.
		Obie made it to almost the very 
		end of 2003 before relinquishing hold of the #1 AKC Coursing, ending up 
		#2, and #1 Male Borzoi, ALWAYS ran in FC stakes, never once was he 
		dropped to avoid the competition, he beat 105 dogs total.
		I am proud of everything he did, but most importantly of all, he was my 
		best friend.
      See his 
		coursing photos!Puppy Love
		
		Obie was like the rest of his canine family, very 
		people oriented. Here he was giving my Gran some much needed loving 
		before she embarked on her first plane ride: to Las Vegas. I lost her in 
		March 07, then him almost 2 months later.  I am trying to comfort 
		myself with the thought that maybe she needs him in heaven more than I 
		need him here. It doesn't help much, but it does make me smile.
		Like his brother Mir, Obie was 
		described as being as keen as a whippet in a Borzoi suit!
      Obie was a doll, my bud, a sweetie, 
		and everything I wanted out of this litter, but most of all he was my 
		best friend thru some horrid times in my life.  He was his daddy in 
		body, with his mama's happy go lucky, no worry in the world temp!  
		He sure proved to me that he was a fighter, and not willing to quit. I 
		truly believe he kept going, just for me. And I know his soul'll come 
		back to me.Obie coming across the finish line in Notra!
      


Aren't we just the cutest pair? 
      Obie was the 'runt', not thriving as a 
		young baby. . alive only due to the intervention of my wonderful vet, Obie was 
		born with an intestine that didn't open up completely to his anal ring. 
		He could pass liquids, but solid foods ended up clogging up the works,  
		and he had emergency reconstructive surgery at 4 wks old to fix it.  
		The vet was amazed he had lived so long, as most cases die within a 
		week.  
      More of Obie's Story
      Obie was lovingly cared for by Dr McMackin  and 
		his staff while we were in NY, 
		and by Dr Knickman for his cancer treatment. I am thankful for both that 
		I had him as long as I did, even if it wasn't long enough. Run swift my 
		lil man, and come back to me.
