Addie's Story
Addie, the spirited Shih tzu, had a charming way of letting her family know she needed fresh water, even if it was just topped off, and always greeted them with an enthusiastic tap of her paw, or later, her nose. Her love for naptime was undeniable; the moment a blanket appeared, she would race over, barking joyfully, eager to snuggle close. Now, free and healthy, Addie is joyfully running, hearing the songs of birds she once missed, and saving all her cherished snuggles for a future reunion.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Verse 1
I remember when you'd bark by your bowl so small,
For fresh water, though it was fresh for us all.
A tiny Shih Tzu, with a spirit so bright,
You'd run to the door, a heartwarming sight.
A tap of your paw upon our ankle so slight,
As you aged, it became a soft nose in the night.
Just a gentle reminder, your love plain to see,
A sweet little shadow, always near to me.
Chorus
Oh, Addie, our dear girl, for fourteen and a half years long,
You filled our home with joy, a loving, sweet song.
Though our hearts ache with absence, your memory remains,
Woven deep in our spirit, through sunshine and rains.
Verse 2
The moment I'd grab a blanket, you knew what was true,
Full force you would run, a happy bark just for you.
Up on the soft fabric, for nap time with me,
Content in our snuggles, as happy as could be.
Your little quirks brought laughter, a light in our day,
Chasing shadows and dreams, in your own loving way.
A tiny protector, with a heart pure and kind,
The dearest companion one could ever find.
Chorus
Oh, Addie, our dear girl, for fourteen and a half years long,
You filled our home with joy, a loving, sweet song.
Though our hearts ache with absence, your memory remains,
Woven deep in our spirit, through sunshine and rains.
Verse 3
Through fourteen long years, your love was our guide,
Always beside us, there's nowhere to hide.
A knowing glance shared, a soft head on our knee,
The dearest companion, just Addie and we.
You taught us of patience, and joy in small things,
The quiet devotion your sweet spirit brings.
A bond so unbroken, though silent you lay,
Forever our Addie, until that sweet day.
Bridge
Mommy and Daddy, we're okay, our sweet friend,
Enjoy being free and healthy, until we meet again.
Save some of those snuggles, we'll see you soon, it's true,
A love like yours, Addie, forever shining through.
Instrumental - harmonica, acoustic guitar
Final Chorus
Oh, Addie, our dear girl, for fourteen and a half years long,
You filled our home with joy, a loving, sweet song.
Though our hearts ache with absence, your memory remains,
Woven deep in our spirit, through sunshine and rains.
Outro - acoustic guitar fade
Now you're running in heaven, with our parents so dear,
No more silence for you, all the sounds you can hear.
The birdsong and breezes, a symphony anew,
Free and healthy, sweet Addie, we'll always love you.
