Afton's Story
Afton, the giant brown bernedoodle, was a devoted companion whose big, heavy head and expressive eyes conveyed a deep understanding. He was always close by, from napping on the office floor to diligently surveying the yard as Chief of Security, often leaning his 100 pounds or gently tugging a sleeve for attention. His constant presence and soulful gaze will forever be cherished in the heart.

Lyrics
Intro - piano, strings
Verse 1
A giant brown Bernedoodle, a soulful, furry friend,
With a heavy head you laid upon me, right to the very end.
Your big expressive eyes would meet mine, a silent, knowing plea,
A language understood between us, for only you and me.
Chorus
Oh, Afton, my companion, through nine and a half years we shared,
A bond of quiet understanding, beyond all comparison.
You touched my life so deeply, with every gentle gaze,
And filled my world with wonder, through sunlit, happy days.
Verse 2
Wherever I would wander, you followed close behind,
In my office on the floor, the sweetest friend I'd find.
Your hundred pounds would lean on me, a soft and heavy sign,
You pulled my sleeve so gently, proclaiming you were mine.
You looked into my soul, dear one, a depth that few could see,
A silent, steadfast presence, eternally with me.
Chorus
Oh, Afton, my companion, through nine and a half years we shared,
A bond of quiet understanding, beyond all comparison.
You touched my life so deeply, with every gentle gaze,
And filled my world with wonder, through sunlit, happy days.
Bridge
I love you, my sweet Afton, you'll always be in my heart,
Be happy, gentle spirit, though we are now apart.
I know I'll see you again someday, beyond the sun's warm glow,
Until that day, remember, how much I love you so.
Instrumental - strings, woodwinds
Final Chorus
Oh, Afton, my companion, through nine and a half years we shared,
A bond of quiet understanding, beyond all comparison.
You touched my life so deeply, with every gentle gaze,
And filled my world with wonder, through sunlit, happy days.
Outro
Now sniffing 'round the yard you go, a chief on silent watch,
Exploring every scent and sound, without a single hitch.
Rest easy, my dear Afton, beneath the sky so wide,
Forever in my memories, always by my side.
Outro - cello fade
