Starlitt Australian Shepherds - Gem

Prairie Fire Star Litt Gem

"Gem"

Gem passed away September 25, 2005. Right to the end Gem was a wonderful dog and left us only after putting up a strong fight. We will always remember our beautiful girl who was our introduction to our life with Aussies. Rest in peace beautiful Gem.

For if the dog be well remembered,
if sometimes she leaps through your dreams actual as in life,
eyes kindling, laughing, begging,
it matters not where the dog sleeps.

On a hill where the wind is unrebuked and the trees are roaring,
or beside a stream she knew in puppyhood,
or somewhere in the flatness of a land where most exhilarating cattle graze.
It is one to the dog, and all one to you,
and nothing is gained and nothing is lost--if memory lives.
But there is one best place to bury a dog.

If you bury her in this spot she will come to you when you call,
come to you over the grim, dim frontiers of death,
and down the well remembered path to your side again.
And though you call a dozen living dogs to heel
they shall not growl at her nor resent her coming,
for she belongs there.

People may scoff at you,
who see no lightest blade of grass bent by her footfall, who hear no whimper,
people who may never really have had a dog.
Smile at them, for you shall know something that is hidden from them.

The one best place to bury a good dog is in the heart of her master!

Where Good Dogs Are Buried
Author Unknown

Our first Australian Shepherd, Prairie Fire Star Litt Gem (aka Gem)...she had training in obedience, flyball, agility, and we also dabbled in tracking and herding.

Unfortunately due to her diagnosis of Hip Dysplasia, we had to stop many sports while she was still young. She was a very personable dog, very typical aussie.
