You were truly an aristocrat, 'Cheyenne-a-man'!   A quiet but large as life presence, with that bit of mischeviousness that made you so unique.

Everyone that met you remembers you.  Barking and carrying on were not for you...oh no.  You would silently come up to people and place your cold, wet nose into their hand, asking for attention and loving rubs.  You took over 1/3 of our couch, made it your business to visit daily with the other dogs, and you tried hard to become 'aussified' which you accomplished admirably!   

Now our couch is so empty, your face of 1,000 emotions will no longer be looking back at me, and your paw will no longer be placed on my leg for petting.  You will be missed so terribly, and your leaving us has created a void in all our lives-human and dog alike. 

Rest well and be happy in your 'everafter' my friend, say hello to all our buddies already at the bridge, and we'll meet again someday.
