Ambir

Yellow Labrador

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
and pain should keep me from my sleep
then you must do what must be done
for this, the last battle can't be won
RIP Ambir

 

Ambir, you were the gentle giant of the Currie Den. You taught my babies patience,
tolerance and most of all what doggies should be like. You were the first animal that
greeted me when I came to see my babies for the first time, you had your lead in your
mouth and you never stopped wagging your tail in a “Welcome” that is grained in
my mind forever. Every time I see a lemon I will think of you fondly. The picture I
will always hold in my mind is of kittens jumping and bouncing off you, biting, scrat-
ching and playing with your tail, all the while you just lay there patiently letting
them do it, with the occasional sniff from you. I knew if I ever wanted to photograph
Lori, I just had to look for you, and there would be your constant companion.
RIP my sweet angel.

Love from Bev, Mickey and Penny

I will miss you old lady. I will remember you with so much fondness and the twinkle in your
eye that old age could never snatch from you. Although your body grew frail and the bones
not willing anymore, in soul and heart you will stay forever young. There is a special place
for animals like you. I think your spot just took longer to prepare because you were too special
for just any spot. I am glad that you now can breathe, you can run, skip and jump again.
You can look over Linn and Robert and all the special litters you helped to raise over the
years and the ones still coming. I know you will give a helping hand in choosing just the most
special babies to fill the litter rooms in their home – how else, you are the most qualified after all.  

Have a good time old girl, you deserve your special place.  R I P

Ambir you raised many litters of kittens, teaching them how to become trainers
and owners of dogs.  You welcomed us potential owners with a big doggy grin and
wuffs when we arrived, all apprehensive to meet your owners and our new kittens.
You greeted us each time we visited and seemed to take special delight in showing
us how our kids had grown since we last saw them, explaining to us the care you
had taken of them whilst we weren’t there (those cat moms sure needed supervision).
You were always there to wave your kittens off with that lovely plume of yours
as they headed off to their new homes.   

Ambir my friend, we will surely miss you.  Heaven has gained a yellow doggy angel.
