In
Loving Memory of
Champion
Avinja's Odin
May 1994-Jan 2003
It
is with great sadness that Champion Avinja's Odin
was given sleep on 28th January 2003 suffering from a
terminal tumour on his spine.
First dedicated to Odin's
dam "Celebrity"the following poem is so fitting for
Odin also
TO EACH COMES
A TIME OF BEAUTIFUL AND EVER LASTING PEACE.
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 last battle can't
be won.
You will be sad I understand, don't let your grief then stay your
hand,
for this day more than all the rest your love and friendship stands
the test.
We've had so many happy years,what is to come can hold no fears.
So when the time comes let me go and take me where my needs they'll
tend,
only stay with me until the end,and hold me firm and speak to
me
until my eyes no longer see.
It's kindness that you do to me,although my tail's it's last has
waived
from pain and suffering I've been saved.
Do not grieve it should be you, who must decide this thing to
do.
We've been so close, we two these years don't let your heart hold
any tears
Till we meet again.
and
Forever in our
hearts:
Sire:
Int.Ch. Rosehurst Chris Dam: Avinja's Celebrity
