FOR BAYZIL
PASSED – 2024
Bayzil, originally from New Mexico, came to Dog Lodge Sanctuary via Camo Rescue in Houston in 2021. He was a senior, black Miniature Schnauzer mix. Bayzil had the sweetest personality – very quiet, very gentle… Certainly, he had had his fair share of medical issues including a ruptured eardrum and hearing deficit, and sadly, his vision had begun to fail him.
While Bayzil got along with all the dogs, it seemed that he would rather stay with staff and volunteers. He happily followed them around and everyone learned not to leave anything lying around because this inquisitive old man would get into it in a flash.
Bayzil was truly a happy addition to our residents’ group. Our hearts ached as his physical ailments began to take their toll, a terrible part of the aging process. We had to say farewell to our sweet Bayzil but his memory will always make us smile…
Look not where I was, for I am not there,
My spirit is free… I am everywhere.
In the air that you breathe, in the sounds that you hear,
Don’t cry for me, my spirit is near.
I’ll watch for you from the other side,
I’ll be the one running, old friends by my side.
Smile at my memory, remember in your heart
This isn’t the end, it’s a brand new start.
