On Monday, January 23, 2012, Justice, a handsome Welsh Corgi, crossed the Rainbow Bridge to join his lifelong friend, Terra
Justice was born on June 24th, 1996 and took up residence with our friend, Abra Crabcakeya when he was 8 mos. old. His prior life as a show dog ended when he was disqualified (for the third time) for objecting strenuously to a male judge checking him for the required equipment. While his coloring is properly called “tobacco brindle with white points” Abra just calls him “the brown one that’s drooling.”
In his younger days, Mr. Justice, along with his pals Tsula and Terra loved to go on trips to the Reservation for a bit of fishing and a good trout dinner. Justice had his favorite foods too. He loved anything Italian and deer meat. According to Abra, Justice learned how to spell.
The first word Justice learned to spell was “lasagna”, defeating all attempts the rest of his life to hide information from him. He really could spell, or recognize a lot of words when spelled out loud, and learned synonyms faster than a lot of people.
Over the years, he went from boating and fishing to preferring car rides and long naps. He enjoyed his cheeseburger treats on road trips. He also went from chasing deer to sitting still and watching them. According to Abra, he was a good mouser in his day and he loved to chase other varmints as well.
For more than 15 and a half years he was a most loyal and loving companion. Now he waits at the bridge with Terra so he can greet his friends Tsula and Abra when they arrive.
I’m not quite sure of the reasons, but we felt that this beautiful version of a children’s song was rather appropriate. So here is a song for Justice.
Oh, Frugal. This is an absolutely beautiful tribute. You really did a wonderful job and brought tears to my eyes. I feel like I have a real sense of who Justice was and how amazing Abra’s friendship with him was over the years. I love the part about Justice leaving the show circuit. Thank you.
Thank you. Our little friends mean so much to us that we wanted to do right by him. Lastech had a hand in it as well. 🙂
He will always live in your heart. My sincere sympathy in your lost.
Nicely done, very very touching .
this is a beautiful tribute to justice and terra. justice also used to love to speak with me on the phone and tell me corgi stories. i’ll always remember those conversations.
Yes… a sad day, but a beautiful memory for those who loved him.
It’s nice to know he spent his happy life so well and for so long with people who treasured him as much as they obviously did. My sincere condolences as someone who understands this loss.
Thanks , to both the people who did such a nice job of this tribute to my Ol’ Buddy , and those who dropped by to comment . We go on – yeh , we all shine on. (thanks , John Lennon)
Justice deserved nothing less than a full tribute. Our critters are NOT just critters. They are family. I can’t speak for you, but I prefer my critters to most humans. Anyhow, I’m glad you approve.
This was such a beautiful and touching tribute! I know Terra and Justice are waiting on the other side for Tsula and Abra. Probably expecting a cheeseburger. Much love to Sir Abra, you know I feel for you loss.
Thanks to those people who have left more comments , wellwishes , and complimented the wonderful couple who have made this website. Tsula and I are doing well , and I’ve realized she and I both need to get out & about more.
