Happy Birthday Goliath, Tribute, Pages and Excerps Options

Today Goliath would have turned 11 years old had he lived. My memories of him are so very many. Goliath is the curve in my smile, the sparkle in my eyes, the joy in my heart and the light of my life.

When he was just a little puppy, he developed a very unusual way to walk. He pranced just like a clydesdale horse and held his head high. All his life he walked in "attention getting" style and was just a little ham for a crowd of people or a camera. He was an absolute "little dickens."

Chihuahuas often get a reputation for being mean little ankle biters. My Goliath was never anything but sweet and loving toward all of God's living creatures and he loved to visit the kitties at the pet shop or adoption center. His sweet little face and feisty personality charmed anybody who came in contact with him. Just looking at him put smiles on people's faces, young and old alike.

Dear Beth

I just read your absolutely beautiful, heartfelt tribute to your very special little boy, Goliath . Thank you so very much for sharing it!

Much love & peace to you and yours,

On November 6th 2007, Goliath passed very suddenly. As I held Goliath in my arms I looked deep into his eyes and he in mine. The angels had come and took him back to Jesus and a special part of me died too. Though I tried desperately to breathe life back into his tiny limp body, God said it was His turn for Goliath to sit in His lap. I begged God to take me instead of my baby boy and I gladly would have done so without question, but God said that it was not my time just yet.

I will always remember his sweet kisses, loving disposition, his feisty personality and his friendship. His memories will remain imprinted on my heart forever.

The angels sang
January twenty fifth nineteen hundred and ninety seven
When God's own hand
Sent you to me straight from heaven


Thank you Goliath
For all you gave to me
Your unselfish love
And your company


You filled my days
With complete happiness and joy
Yes Goliath
You were always such a special good boy


We were joined by our hearts
From the day we met
You were so much more to me
Than just my pet


You left this earth
November sixth two thousand and seven
And went to live with our Lord and Savior
In heaven


Though you came to me
By God's own hand
He took you home to live
With Him again


You were only sent
For me to borrow
And your absence leaves me
With such great sorrow


And even though
We are apart
You will forever
Remain in my heart


One thing I know
With certainty
Is that we'll reunite
In eternity


But until then
You'll remain in my heart
My forever
Best friend

Sleep well
My precious angel
I will love you til
The day after forever
