Angel's memory video

I adopted Angel when she was one year old. I was traveling a lot for business, and my Amigo Jose agreed to help me train her and take care of her while I was on the road. Angel was a very sweet, calm, friendly, loving, smart, and loyal dog. In addition to Jose, Angel became everyone's favorite dog. I would joke that people came to my house to see Angel, not me. She would stay with me without a leash on bike rides or on the downtown Jacksonville bridge walk. She never bothered other people or other dogs, staying right by my side. She hated thunder and fireworks, and would go hide in the bathtub, but she loved to ride in cars and would sometimes jump in friends cars to hitch a ride. I adopted a stray kitten "Skedaddles" soon after we got Angel, and they were like sisters. Angel was so gentle with her, the cat was never scared. Then along came Milo, my friend Ashton's dog, and Angel and Milo became best friends. They learned from each other. Milo got more patient and loving, and Angel got more energetic and playful.
Just a few months shy of her 11th birthday, Angel was diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer. She passed away one month later. I am so blessed to have had Angel in my life these last 10 years. I am still in shock. Even though I knew it was coming. I am surprised how empty the house feels. She was such a calm and quiet dog, but she was always around. Day or night, upstairs or down, inside or out. Angel would be wagging her tail, looking expectantly for a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ear, or wanting to go on a car ride. I was thinking it will soon be 5 years since Dad passed away. I can’t believe he only knew Angel for half of Angel’s life. It makes our day-to-day problems seem so small when you view them in the context of a life-span. Life does go in circles. Elton John would say it is the circle of life. The sound track for this video features some of Angel's many friends from the First Coast Wind Symphony.
