In Memory of our beloved Mr. Baller
11-2004 through 12-2011
There is so much to say about you Mr. B. The day I met you, we knew you were ment to be in our family. We purchased you from a family on the side of the road. Alicia and I picked you up in the palm of ours hands, how cute and handsome you were. No way were we gonna leave you there a minute longer.We brought you to mom's work to surprise her and it was love and excitment at first sight. As you blossomed into such a handsome boy, you found your love for singing. Starting with Alicia and her flute. As you got older you would sing alongside the family to a song on the radio. I loved the time we spent together and how smart you were. You loved gardening with mom and enjoying the harvest and being king of the can in the back yard. It's so not the same here anymore, your presence is missed terribly..We love you Mr. B and always will. Until we meet again little man, you are forever in our hearts..Love your Dad, Mom and human sister Alicia and your canine sister's Petunia Pickles, Sweetpea and Daisy!! and for you, you deserve 2 poems..

"HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR"
My best friend closed his eyes last night,
As his head was in my hand.
The Doctors said he was in pain,
And it was hard for him to stand.

The thoughts that scurried through my head,
As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And OH...his many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart thats filled with tears
Remembering our joy filled days.

But an Angel just appeared to me,
And he said, "You should cry no more,
GOD also loves our canine friends,
HE's installed a 'doggy-door"!

Mr. Baller, when I was wrong, you were delighted to forgive.
When I was angry, you would sing to make me smile.
When I was happy, you were joy and bound.
When I was a fool, you would ignore me.
Mr. Baller you have taught me the meaning of devotion..
Forever in Hearts little man..
