Let her epitaph read dear:
That from this day onward
A gentle light burns less brightly
For all those that she's now left here.
Goodnight sweet friend
What precious times we've spent.
Your smiling, liquid eyes -
Such trust and deep affection -
A vision in white, your jaunty gait
And swift obedience made of you
One neverending heartpride.
You had so many friends, so few enemies,
(not worthy of the count) of Joyousness,
Intelligence and Courage unflagging,
And now you lie in your starlit cradle in the sky
Lying cold while your loving spirit sleeps.
Goodnight, goodnight sweet friend, goodnight
My heart's delight, we'll met again one day,
We'll walk along the river's edge
As we always did, and thank God for
Our four-footed friends that kept us company.
(c) Gwen Beauregard - 1995

Arpege was a Maltese Terrier who was for many
years my tiny "Super Dog" who never ceased to
amaze and delight everyone who knew her as she
titled in every obedience competition we entered.
