They said you were incorrigible – couldn’t be trained. Silly people didn’t know that Chesapeake Bay Retrievers need to bond to behave. And living in a barn was no life for a dog like you. So you came into my life and unto my bed. You were just a year old with a litter of springer spaniel mix pups by your side. You knew what I wanted before I asked you. You were smart, very well behaved and totally devoted. You were welcome everywhere because you were so well trained. You were a perfect companion and your passing ripped a huge hole in my heart. I know you are swimming in rapids, retrieving to your heart’s content and waiting ‘til we meet again.
