Wendell's Story
From the very first moment Wendell, the sweet rat terrier, wrapped his paws around a leg at the animal shelter, he made it clear he was home. He loved to greet his family with excited runs, often watching from the bed for "daddy" to arrive, and found comfort snuggled in his favorite blanket during thunderstorms. Wendell's loving presence, always cuddling between his beloved humans, brought immeasurable joy and will be deeply missed.

Lyrics
Intro - fingerpicked acoustic guitar, piano
Verse 1
The day we found you, sweet and small,
Within that shelter's quiet hall.
Your tiny paws, a tender hold,
A loving story to unfold.
Around his leg, you softly clung,
While hopeful whispers then were sung.
We knew right then, our hearts embraced,
A love in time, no moment waste.
Chorus
Oh, Wendell, our dear friend, so true,
Fourteen years we shared with you.
A love so deep, a bond so strong,
You'll live within our hearts lifelong.
Verse 2
The window sill, your patient gaze,
A watch for Daddy through the haze.
Then joyful barks, a happy chase,
As you ran out with wagging grace.
On stormy nights, safe in my arms,
Your favorite blanket, soft and warm.
Between us tucked, a cozy spot,
The sweetest cuddles that we got.
Chorus
Oh, Wendell, our dear friend, so true,
Fourteen years we shared with you.
A love so deep, a bond so strong,
You'll live within our hearts lifelong.
Verse 3
On car rides, tucked in close you'd be,
Your sweet head resting, safe and free.
On Daddy's shoulder, warm and low,
A special bond, we loved you so.
And Christmas brought a festive gleam,
With gifts for you, a joyous dream.
Our Wendell, loved with all our might,
You filled our home with endless light.
Bridge
We love you, Wendell, more than words can say,
We miss you dearly every single day.
Such joy and love, you freely gave,
No other dog our hearts will ever crave.
Instrumental - piano, cello
Final Chorus
Oh, Wendell, our dear friend, so true,
Fourteen years we shared with you.
A love so deep, a bond so strong,
You'll live within our hearts lifelong.
Outro
Now running free in golden light,
Through endless fields, so green and bright.
No pain can reach you, gentle soul,
Just sunshine now to make you whole.
