Dobe Prayer

I was standing on a hillside in a field of blowing wheat and the spirit of a Doberman was lying at my feet. He looked at me with kind dark eyes an ancient wisdom shining through and in the essence of his being I saw love there too. His mind did lock upon my heart as I stood there on that day and he told me of this story about a place so far away.

I stood upon that hillside in a field of blowing wheat and in a twinkling of a second his spirit left my feet. His tale did put my heart at ease my fears did fade away about what lay ahead of me on another distant day.

"I live among God's creatures now in the heavens of your mind, so do not grieve for me, my friend as I am with my kind. My collar is a rainbow's hue, my leash a shooting star My boundaries are the Milky Way where I sparkle from afar. There are no pens or kennels here for I am not confined but free to roam God's heavens among the Dobie kind. I nap the day on snowy clouds, gentle breezes rocking me, and dream the dream of earthlings of how it used to be. The trees are full of liver treats and tennis balls abound, Milkbones line the walkways, just waiting to be found.

There even is a ring setup the grass all lush and green, where even Rescue Dobermans become the best of breed. For we're all winners in this place we have no faults, you see. And GOD passes out blue ribbons to each one, even me.

I drink from waters laced with gold my world is beauty to behold. And wise old dogs do form my pride to amble at my very side.

At night I sleep in Angel's arms her wings protecting me and moonbeams dance about us as stardust falls on thee.

So when your life on earth is spent you stand at heaven's gate have no fear of loneliness, for here, you know I wait."

Permission Slips, The Messages From Beyond The Rainbow Bridge.

Clyde
Clyde came into rescue in November 2005 and he was a very good Dobe boy but he had socialization problems and just never could understand that he was safe and that no one would ever harm him. He had been an outside dog and the product of a divorce and was most likely physical abused. We worked with a behavioralist to try and help Clyde but he never felt safe and would strike out at you in fear, and then have the most pitiful look on his face. We tried as hard as we could to help him, but it never worked. He's a happy Dobe boy now and safe forever. God Bless you, Clyde!

Robby
This is dedicated to Robby, a sweet and gentle Doberman who left us much too soon. Poor Robby was hit by a car and then laid in a ditch for over a week before a kind samaritan found him and called us. Even though he was injured and starving, he never tried to bite any of us. We repaired his hip and he was doing so good and using his leg again and then suddenly passed away. We take comfort that his last few months were spent with a soft bed and plenty of food. Robby in return taught us about unconditional love. Robby we still miss you.
