Thank You

Dobrze
1999 - 2013

You taught me more than I had any right to learn from you.  You showed me how to be someone other than a stupid kid, despite the heat you often took for it.  You showed me what it meant to make the most of everything, what life is supposed to be about, and how an uncomfortable situation can turn with just a shift in perspective or a cold nose and warm ears looking for attention.

No more leashes or fences.  You have the wisdom of years, hips younger than the youngest puppy, and a world to explore.  I can't keep up with you, but don't slow down.  I have that last shared turn in the road firmly in my mind and I will follow and find you when the time comes; when my duties here are complete.  Being out in front, you make even this certainty something to look forward to.

Know you changed the world, Dobrze.  I'll be appreciating you and all you brought into my life for the rest of it.

Run.
