And nothing was ever the same again

Gryphon
March 1, 1988 - March 8, 2000

Addendum: David Jensen of Alaska Pet-ography sent me this memory collage today of Gryphon in his youth. (The other dogs are Diva and Max.)

I always think of him and Doc in the same thought, still now, as I did when they were here. Good souls.

He is missed here, as well. He was such a wonderful pup.

Okay, I tried posting a comment and it disappeared into the ether. I am at an Internet cafe right now. ANYWAY! SUch a handsome, handsome boy, and I can see why you miss him so. Here's to Gryphon!

March of 2000 I started walking dogs for FOP, I barely new you and I never had the opportunity to meet Gryphon. But years have past now and all I can say is that God gives us special angels in our lives, both human and animal. We don't have control over their presence and often their time with us is far too short, but we take what we can from their lives and love and know that we are better souls for having experienced them. To Kody and Gryphon our boys, soulmates, and angels keeping watch from afar, we love you and will miss you always. Thank you Peg for being one of my angels. - Kari

Peg,

We are remembering him right along with you. He was a great force.

Ohhhh...what a magnificent boy your Gryphon is -- and I know you struggle with his transition every day. It somehow doesn't seem right that the world keeps spinning...

Here's something that was once shared with me -- from The Once Again Prince, which certainly seems appropriate: We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan... Beautiful sentiments and they are ever in our hearts...yet what we wouldn't give to have them physically with us again, even for just a moment. God bless you and Gryphon, Peg.

That's the way it is with heart dogs. Hugs,

Such a beautiful boy. I'm so glad he is and always will be your heart dog. I often think that Jackson has crept into the depths of my heart and taken the same position.
