"Every Rose has its Thorn.....
                             Every Night has its Dawn..."
On Sept 19/02 Thorn was born into my hands and at 4:30 am Dec 21/11 Thorn died in my arms. He had bloated during the night and could not be saved.   He was a funny dog but he meant everything to me.  Its amazing what animals can teach you and how humble they can make you feel at times.  He had the best head profile and the darkest eyes. He was a sire of 7 champions. He was the last of a line. He was my friend. From a litter of one, (thankyou Monika for sharing Guns and Roses with me)  Thorn grew up thinking he was human. It was below him to be just a dog. He didn't want to be with them he wanted to be with me, where the people were.  When he wanted something he would not shut up until he got it. He made sure he kept the rest of the household in line. And he always seemed to know when I needed a hug. He would come and crawl into my lap and lay his head against my chest. Even at rest he would be alert and if I moved a foot to get up out of my chair he was on his feet ready to go with me. Thorn always made sure you knew he was there,  he was a very vocal boy. I do not have many pictures of him, he was THE  hardest dog to take a picture of. He would move every time. Just one more thing to make life interesting.  He was a small dog beside what you see in the ring today at  24 3/4 inches, but he was a such a big man in his own mind.  He didn't play much he was too busy overseeing simply everything. lolol  I had such plans for him/us.  He was so healthy until this. Thorn has a great pedigree and hopefully his kids and grandkids will carry on where he left off.  The house seems very empty now that he is gone. Very quiet. I miss him very much but life would not have been the same without him.
 And yes he even had his own song I would sing it to him all the time.
So thank you Thorn for being in my life it was quite an adventure.
Until we meet again my Thorn the honour was all mine.
