As you romped for hours in the snow laden field, burrowing thru the high grass mounds,
you discovered many things.
Within moments of ending your playtime, I noticed something wrong...something very wrong.
As I rushed you to the vets, I knew...I just knew this was goodbye
As I called your name, you tried desparately to respond in true Motion -Comotion...
but your body was failing you
As they pumped your stomach the contents gave us the answer
MUSHROOMS...but not the magic kind
Motion...you gave me a zest for life I thought I had lost
Motion...an inspiration beyond her youth
pictures taken on October 9, 2006 as Motion turns 7 weeks old!
When I am alone with my thoughts, she envelops my being
as I weep with Ledger trying to lick away my tears.
While Motion graced my life for a mere 101 days,
her impact on my heart will last for eternity!
She was born into my hands with a force that had such undeniable impact...much
like her grandmother Chisel! She lit up a room with her presence! As I sit
here, it is automatic to swivel around and look at her empty crate yet I can
see her there still peering back at me with her eagerness to get the day
going!
Motion didn't have to achieve titles, blue ribbons or any such accolades as
she had already won my heart the moment I held her. As I looked forward to
our lives together, anticipating the joys of seeing her skills on sheep and
her athleticism in agility, I realize that she was to teach me instead. She
was the master conductor and I her student.
She raised me up to more then I could be...
