Today the sunset on CheeBah Dotti McGuire’s time with me here on Earth, she earned her angel wings, and I couldn’t be prouder! As I write this memorial with tears streaming down my face like Niagara Falls, I reflect on our wonderful life; she’s my Soul puppy, best friend, Road trip buddy, and studio assistant I could have asked for. It will be hard for me to start a new life without her but I know it is her time to go and I can’t hold her back from flying high to the heavens to play with Grandpa McGuire, Auntie Pat, and Geri, Bigsley, Bandit, Floyd, Stones and her finance Sarge; knowing she is going to be taken care brings some joy to my broken heart. She loved going on adventures didn’t matter where as long as she was with me. She loved her Dog Park friends and their Pawrents; running around playing tug of war and rolling is smelly stuff. Lymes Disease took her body but couldn’t dim her bright light, she was a healer to those who were hurting or in pain from Cancer.
When Cheebs was just 8 weeks old I was doing an art show at Rochester Mayo and so many people came to see my art, but she was the prize- so many cancer patients were picking her up and smelling her “puppy breath” not realizing that she’s healing these souls. The one that still sticks in my head today was a little boy in a Stroller that his dad brought him to Cheebs and he would squeal and giggle as she would sniff his little socks, giving him kisses and the little guy’s soul was laughing in pure joy, this went off on all day and at the point, I realized her talents.
CheeBah you will always be my furbaby and thank you for these wonderful 9 ½ years I only wished it was the 20 you promised me! LOL Your pawprints are forever imprinted on my heart and when it’s time for another dog to come into my life- I will know you sent them.
