Skipper

Gretchen and Brian Erga:  Our beloved Skipper went to the Rainbow Bridge this morning and is awaiting our arrival.  We were blessed with over 8 years of unconditional love until he lost his battle with cancer.  Or, as Gretchen and I believe, the Lord called Skipper back early because he needed a very special Golden by his side to retrieve tennis balls for him when he visits the Rainbow Bridge and the other Goldens who await us.  Skipper was a very special Golden; he would spend all night guarding us, the pack, till daylight, he would protect his sister Bailey from any other dog who might do harm, and he always returned the tennis ball to whoever first threw it for him.  He loved the boat and guarded it from the “evil seals” that swam nearby.  HIs favorite time was resting on the bow his dingy, in the warm sun, while it floated behind the big boat.  Skipper did have a wonderful life; every day was a holiday.  And, I know he wills all his toys and good times ahead in life to those who have not been so lucky.  God Bless.
