In Memoriam

"RYAN" October 1988 -- January 2002

"Who can deny changes that come -- season to season"

When I was a young pup, it was a very good time ...

I liked to follow bugs and snails

Dig holes in the yard

And chase my tail

When I was a young pup

When I was a young dog, it was a very good time ...

I liked to roll in the grass

Swim all day

And run so fast

When I was a young dog

When I was an old dog, it was a very good time ...

I liked to take long walks

And bask in the sun

Till the day was done

When I was an old dog

Now that I am gone ...

They will always remember me

My quiet ways

Loyalty -- dignity

Now that I am gone ...
