OUR AUGGIE WAS THE MOST BEAUITFUL BASSETT HOUND INSIDE AS WELL AS OUT THAT PEOPLE HAD EVER SEEN. HE WAS PLAYFUL,DISTRUCTFUL AS A PUPPY, BLESSED WITH THE NATURE OF A SAINT AND WAS THE LIGHT AND CORNERSTONE OF OUR EVERYDAY LIVES FOR 10 OF THE GREATEST YEARS I HAVE EVER KNOWN. OUR GRANDKIDS ALL LIVE OUT OF STATE AND VISIT EVERY SUMMER BUT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ABOUT ONCE EVERY WEEK THEY WOULD CALL ON THE PHONE AND WANT TO SPEAK TO AUGGIE. AUGGIE WOULD TALK BACK BY BARKING INTO THE PHONE AND LICKING IT TILL IT WAS SLOBBERY!! AUGGIE HAD HIS OWN ROOM AND BED WHICH HE WOULD WILLINGLY SHARE WITH EACH GRANDCHILD WHEN THEY VISITED, THAT ROOM SEEMS SO EMPTY AND PAINFUL TO EVEN ENTER RIGHT NOW. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER GAVE US THE WONDERFUL GIFT OF AUGGIE 10 YEARS AGO AND NOW IT WAS TIME FOR HIM TO RETURN, WE COULD OF NEVER BEEN PREPARED OF HOW IT WOULD DEVESTATE OUR LIVES.BUT WE GAIN PEACE IN THE KNOWLEDGE  HE IS NO LONGER IN PAIN AND IS IN OUR LORDS LOVING HANDS UNTIL THAT DAY WE MEET AGAIN AND GOD GIVES AUGGIE BACK TO US FOR ETERNITY, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE. WE LOVE YOU AUGGIE,SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEDAY, THANK YOU FOR YOU. LOVE MOM & DAD
