Clyde Clifford 1997-2008

Our beloved companion, Clyde, went to heaven this afternoon. I love that dog! His bright brown eyes & pink nose. He was so sweet. Clyde came to live with us through an open adoption from my sister. He flew home w/me after Christmas. He was the laziest lab you'd ever meet. Seriously, he would fetch a few times then look at you as if to say, "Are you done?!".
He would only walk on the leash to the corner then sit down refusing to walk any further.

Christmas 2003
Clyde never went to bed without me. On late nights he would sit beside me & if it got too late he would sigh & look at me. I'd say "I'm hurrying old man!" ; )
We are better to have known him. He was a sweet, sweet dog. Although the Bible does not definitively state that dogs go to Heaven I am believing we will be reunited with Clyde one day.
When we moved to our current home he discovered a lovely pond across from our back pasture & he would "sneak" over to take a dip. I know he is loving Heaven with it's huge, green pastures & beautiful, blue ponds!

  4. We, too, lost a loving companion last week. I love the stories of your dog. And we choose to believe God's got a special spot for them too. Such gentle spirits. I found you through the Queen Bee :)

  9. Oh, Jen I am so sad to hear about your sweet lab. Our yellow lab, Bailey is probably hanging out with Clyde in the ponds in heaven! She loved to sneak off and swim too!!
