A couple of weeks ago, my wee little Sprite lost her fight with adrenal. As always, the adrenal wasn't the fatal blow, just the catalyst. She gave it her best fight.
Wee Sprite was one of three who were turned in when they no longer fit into their people's lifestyle. Aremis, was a calm, quiet silver mutt and Athos, a wild crazy dude who just couldn't stand still. Sprite was their stabalizer, their peacekeeper, their ears (both boys were deafies). She said goodbye to both those boys very early on and many others. Her people said she was a nasty biter and quite aggressive. I've no idea who they were talking about. Wee Sprite was the sweetest tempered little girlie who gave the most awesome fert kisses. She was a gentle sweet soul, who rarely made trouble, I never heard her hiss or react in anger.
Just because she was sweet didn't mean she couldn't make trouble. She had this thing about teasing Loki Bears (a large Path Valley). She loved to find him sleeping in a corner, under some blankets...she'd then sneak up and jump all over him, screaming at him and pulling on his ears if they were showing. He'd then wake up in an awful grump and proceed to try and catch her before she got under the fish tank (there was a group of the small marshals, Aremis, Athos, Sprite, Zena...the Under the Tank Gang). Occasionally, she wasn't fast enough and he'd catch her and just thrash her, beating her soundly and making her scream. I usually had to rescue her (he'd only do this when she had jumped on him, they could eat and sleep side by side....but she had to tease him) She missed him when he finally passed on, often resting in his favourite sleepy spot. Once again, she is with her friends. She and Zena can share snuggle times and once again, when you hear that distant rumble of thunder without a cloud in the sky...know that Sprite once again got the upper hand on Loki Bears and he's chasing her wee butt. The rumble of thunder is their feet as they chase each other around.
Your travelling candle is lit my sweet little girl. I miss the way you used to look impishly out at me from under the blankets, your gentle kisses, your warm little body curled up in my shirt. Gentle journey my sweet little girl. Run and find Aremis and Athos, they've been waiting patiently for you

Goodbye my sweet little girl, Goodbye, Sprite
ciao
