Big Dog,

You hold a special place in our hearts.  You were always there to watch over the family and make sure nobody got out of line.  You are loved very much and we know you are in the greenest, biggest, happiest dog park now rolling on your back in absolute pleasure.  We miss you dearly already and you will stay in our hearts and minds forever.  Bigga-Rex, you are the man.  Play like you've never played before big boy!  And for my wife Katerina I would like to dedicate a beautiful poem:



A 'SPECIAL PLACE' by Jan Cooper 



You have a special place Dear Lord

  that I know you'll always keep

A special place reserved for dogs

  when they quietly fall asleep

With large and airy kennels

  and a yard for hiding bones

With maybe a little babbling creek

  that chatters over stones.

With wide green fields and flowers

  for those who never knew

about running freely under

  Your sky of perfect blue.

Lord,I know You keep this Special Place

  And so to you I Pray,

For one Special Rottweiler

  Who quietly died today

He was full of strength & love

  and so very, very wise.

The puppy look he once had

  Had long since left his eyes.

He is dearly missed my Lord

  By a very loved friend of mine.

He went to join his ancestors

  To Your land that is Devine

So, speak to Big-Rex softly please

  And give him a warm hello.

He's a Special gift to you Dear Lord

  From Katerina, who loved him so.
