He was Tayce's Therapy dog in Detroit, Roy's pal in Brussels, construction site supervisor during our renos, and Official Greeter to the yoga ladies & all our friends. Although we'd only been there a few months, everyone in Florida knew him as the "lion-dog". He loved people/parties & entertaining and considered all of you his friends. He loved Winter snow and Summer Boat Rides, treats & cheese, walks, bumscratches, cuddles, presents, stuffed animals & US. He was a big part of our lives, we will miss him very much! As difficult as it has been to watch him decline over the past three months with osteosarcoma (bone cancer), we can't imagine how hard it must be for people who cannot afford the pain meds or other necessary veterinary interventions. That's why we are working with our friends Joan Middleton and Andrea Habas to establish the Haliburton Pet Owners' Assistance Fund - a charity to help financially-challenged people in our community with the cost of non-elective/non-routine veterinary procedures & medications for their companion animals. (We have received our Letters Patent and are now applying for Canada Revenue Agency charitable status). It's our way of paying forward all the good things he brought to us. One of the best things about Bismarck was the giant-sized welcome he gave us whenever we came home and to all our visitors. I'm sure you've seen the piece circulated on the internet about "Things I Learned from my Dog" (see below). My favourite is "when loved ones come home, always run to greet them." In memory of Bismarck, we'd ask you to consider making these words you live by. Tayce Wakefield THINGS I LEARNED FROM MY DOG
