Anita's Story
Anita, the spirited Labrador Mix, filled her days with joyful mischief, whether digging holes with Zach, skillfully snagging treats from the dinner table, or playfully turning on the backyard sprinklers to upset Dad. Her happy wagging tail and sassy bark at the door made every greeting special, and her distinctive click-clack nails always announced a "kitchen meeting" for delicious food. She now runs free, pain-free, chasing rabbits and ducks, forever a cherished part of a meaningful, fun chapter.
— Remembered by Anita
Lyrics
Intro - grand piano, strings
Verse 1
In the yard, a furry flash, a coat of darkest night,
Just a tiny patch of white upon her chest, a precious sight.
Digging holes with Zach, a joyous, playful sight
Then "monkey in the middle" on Vineyard Street we'd play
Your click-clack nails upon the floor, a sound that brightened every day
A stealthy paw, a stolen bite, when no one seemed to see
Or jumping in the aqueduct, chasing ducks so free
Swimming with Jack in summer's heat, chasing rabbits on our way
You solved a puzzle in a minute, then turned the sprinklers on to spray
Chorus
Oh, Anita, my sweet girl, for fifteen years so true
A love so deep, a bond so strong, in everything you do
You filled our lives with laughter, a light that shone so bright
Forever in our memories, our beautiful, guiding light
Verse 2
The greatest joy, your greeting, at the door or front yard gate
A happy wagging tail you'd show, sealing our loving fate
Your cute, loud, sassy bark, a welcome we held dear
Our walks were the best, chasing away all fear
Your sassy walk made us all smile, a comical display
And kitchen meetings, full of treats, at the close of every day
You brought such fun and warmth to us, in every little thing
The joy and solace that you gave, a melody you'd sing
Chorus
Oh, Anita, my sweet girl, for fifteen years so true
A love so deep, a bond so strong, in everything you do
You filled our lives with laughter, a light that shone so bright
Forever in our memories, our beautiful, guiding light
Bridge
Thank you, pretty momma girl, for all the fun and glee
The walks and laughter that you brought, you meant the world to me
You'll always have a special place, deep within my heart
Go run and chase the rabbits now, a brand new happy start
You were a chapter, meaningful, a joy I'll hold so near
I miss you, my pretty girl, I'll find you someday, dear
Instrumental - strings, oboe
Final Chorus
Oh, Anita, my sweet girl, for fifteen years so true
A love so deep, a bond so strong, in everything you do
You filled our lives with laughter, a light that shone so bright
Forever in our memories, our beautiful, guiding light
Outro
Now running free in tall egress, with Enchi and with Molly
Sunbathing in the endless sunbeam, so peaceful and so jolly
Outro - strings fade
