Baxter's Story
Baxter, the beloved Beagle, brought boundless joy, from proudly presenting captured lizards to his human to quietly sitting beside them during stargazing nights. His most cherished moments were often found nestled lovingly between legs at bedtime, offering a unique comfort that will be deeply missed. Now, he runs free and pain-free, chasing lizards with his brothers and sisters through tall grasses at the Rainbow Bridge.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Verse 1
The day you came, a little beagle's heart,
A brand new journey, ready for a start.
With nose to ground, a scent you'd always chase,
Bringing proud lizards, right to mom's embrace.
Then quiet nights, beneath the starry sky,
You'd sit beside me, as the hours went by.
My little shadow, loyal, true, and kind,
The greatest comfort I could ever find.
Chorus
Oh, Baxter, my dear, in every field and stream,
You lived a happy, love-filled dream.
For four long years, and six more precious months,
You taught my heart what true love truly wants.
Verse 2
The day was done, the quiet hours drew near,
You'd jump right up, dispelling every fear.
You'd find your spot, between my sleeping legs,
A silent promise, no one ever begs.
A gentle warmth, a soft and steady sigh,
My sleepy friend, as morning started nigh.
Small quirks and habits, etched into my soul,
Making every moment truly whole.
Chorus
Oh, Baxter, my dear, in every field and stream,
You lived a happy, love-filled dream.
For four long years, and six more precious months,
You taught my heart what true love truly wants.
Verse 3
A blue-coat wonder, with a spirit bright,
You filled our home with pure and joyful light.
So goofy sometimes, with a happy bark,
You left no room for shadows in the dark.
Upon the recliner, by my feet you'd lay,
Chasing the blues, you brightened every day.
A love like yours, so precious and so grand,
Forever etched, a paw print in my hand.
Chorus
Oh, Baxter, my dear, in every field and stream,
You lived a happy, love-filled dream.
For four long years, and six more precious months,
You taught my heart what true love truly wants.
Bridge
And now I whisper, on the morning breeze,
Run free, sweet Baxter, with absolute ease.
Chase every lizard, joyful and so bright,
Until we meet again, in endless light.
Harmonica Solo
Final Chorus
Oh, Baxter, my dear, in every field and stream,
You lived a happy, love-filled dream.
For four long years, and six more precious months,
You taught my heart what true love truly wants.
Outro
Running free now, where the tall grass grows so deep,
With brothers, sisters, secrets they will keep.
Beyond the bridge, a happy, peaceful place,
Forever running, with eternal grace.
Outro - guitar fade
