Last night (11-04-11) our dog Sweetie Pie passed away (SP). She was one of two strays that came to our door about three years ago. They were all the blessing to us. SP soon had a litter of puppies and we kept one of her daughters. So just like J, Z and I, there was the little family of three dogs, momma, papa and daughter. SP was the wild one but yet the good/smart one. She danced and chased, she played hard and loved hard. To most guests she was a ferocious beast, growling and barking and even a little bite here and there if you gave her the chance, our brave defender. Only four years old (we think) she went well before her time, in a flash leaving much wonder in all of our minds as to what, how and why. That’s something we will never know but I do know that I’ve learned a few things from that dog about how to be a leader of a household. She had and amazing spirit.
Today when I was deciding what to listen too at work I picked Jonsi. This is the first song that came up randomly. I don’t think it was so random after all. It describe SP perfectly and instantly brought a tear to my eye. I played it for J when I got home and she cried too. We will all miss you Sweetie Pie, so very much. Fortunate our paths crossed.

I want to be a lilikoi boy lilikoi
You grind your claws, you howl growl
Unafraid of Hoi Polloi
You run, you’re free, you climb and dress trees
You reignite
You growl, you howl, you show your teeth
You bite, it’s alright
Say no more, use your eyes
The world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you’ll know you are
Use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you’ll know you are
Why me, my boy, you burn so bright
Do you illuminate?
One day you’re out, you give up the fight
You slow down heart-rate
We all grow old, use your life
The world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you’ll know you are
Use your life, the world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you’ll know you are
Electricity wires are down
Rainbow colours fade into brown
I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good
Courageous boy, now you are gone
And run past the years, no place to go
Your spirit is grand, so life goes on
You are
You are
I want to be a lilikoi-boy ooooh
You grind your claws, you howl, you growl
Unafraid of Hoi Polloi
Electricity wires are down
Rainbow colours fade into brown
I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good
Courageous boy, now you are gone
You run past the years, no place to go
Your spirit is grand, so life goes on
You are ..
You are ..
