Oh, Earle, Earle of the Huskies,
Noble, sweet boy
Beloved for so long, and bringer of laughter
Black-tipped ears erect, expecting love
Or treats, or new friends, or ...
Earle of the North
Furry paws forever leaving
Prints in the snow
Prints through the mud
Deep prints on all hearts
Earle of the North, Prince of all hearts
Lover of human and canine and all
Your sweet presence
Will outlast even the drifting cloud
Of husky fur in the spring
That has woven itself into the Yukon landscape
And Tamara and Stewart's home and lives
And that legacy of steadfast love
Will live on, dare we say,
Forever.
