"A Tribute to Lizzi"
The First Whippet in Our Lives
January 4, 1992 to September 24, 1998

Some may say she was just a dog,
but we know she was so much more than that-
she was a little girl who stole our hearts
with her first kiss and our first pat.

A little girl, independent and strong,
with a heart of gold and a beautiful song.
A song she sang almost everyday,
always having something to say.

Whether with mommy, daddy, Jake or BJ,
Rusty or Tally, she got her way.
A child she could be, so gentle and shy
but leave her alone,
it was like Jeckel & Hyde

Boats couldn't pass quietly when she was around,
heading up the pack with her high-pitched sound.
The same with the boys, and Tally too,
when she walked by, all knew who ruled.

You could see it in her eyes,
her gait and her stand,
that she was the best and queen of the land
The queen she was and always will be,
the queen of our hearts,
and she took the key.

The title of champion she chose not to be
it's just a word, because all could see,
it is what she was, both inside and out,
the prettiest little girl without a doubt.

She left, though too soon,
for a place where no thunder rolls,
and trees full of squirrels,
as she goes on her stroll.

She takes a roll in the grass
and scratches her back
runs out on the pier, lets out a sigh,
and gracefully walks back.

As she nestles up in her own little bed,
all curled up and tucking her head,
she thinks to herself,
that she left in such a whirl
she hopes daddy remembers
she was his little girl

She left her spirit with us that night
but our eyes so full of tears
it was not in sight.
Her spirit stayed near easing our pain,
bringing back happy memories
and keeping us sane.

We know she is here and always will be,
for she's in everything we touch
everything we hear, and
everything we see.

She brought us so much more
than she will ever know,
and we will never understand
why she had to go.
It wasn't her desire,
and certainly not our wish,
but the angels called her name,
and we gave her one last kiss.

We hope she realizes how loved she was
by all her family, and it is because-
she was the sparkle in a diamond
and she was, and will always be,
daddy's little girl.
