just some of the many nicknames I gave our Knuckles.
He was a Good Dog.
He was a good friend.
He had a lot of attitude, but he was still a sweet dog, underneath it all.
Rest in peace, Knuckles.
2004-2014
| This is how I always think of him |
Oh yes, for those of you who always asked how we got the name Knuckles, here is the lyrics to the song. It is by a band called Killdozer, you can listen to it on YouTube. It might help to have these lyrics to read along with it.
Knuckles the dog (who helps people)
Knuckles the dog what a very good dog you are
You're the best dog of all the other dogs by far
Raised to run the greyhound tracks
Down on the puppy farm
Retired and he's now devoted
To protecting people from harm
Too slow to compete they sent you away
To the glue factory
Saved by a handicapped boy
Now everyone knows that boy was me
I am a blind and palsied boy
Condemned to life in this wheelchair
Other kids will not play with me
But Knuckles the dog, you were always there
Knuckles goes to the nursing home
To visit the elderly
Abandoned by their own children
Knuckles lifts them from their misery
Knuckles the dog what a very good dog you are
You're the best dog of all the other dogs by far
Knuckles the dog won't hunt
He respects all forms of life
Dying now in my arms
To save me bravely gave his life
Put down by an assassin's bullet
That was meant for me
Knuckles the dog who helps people
Now you are forever free
Knuckles the dog what a very good dog you were (2x)
Knuckles the dog
Knuckles he goes with you
When you explore
Just pull his leash
And go for a walk
He's your dog
For sure
Knuckles the dog what a very very good dog
Very good dog
You were
Knuckles the dog what a very good good
Good good very good very good dog
You were
Knuckles the dog what a very very very very very good
Very good very good dog you were
Knuckles the dog what a very good dog dog
Very good dog
Boy good dog you were
Knuckles the dog what very good very good very good very good
Dog you were
Knuckles the dog what a very very very very very very good dog you were!
You're the best dog of all the other dogs by far
Raised to run the greyhound tracks
Down on the puppy farm
Retired and he's now devoted
To protecting people from harm
Too slow to compete they sent you away
To the glue factory
Saved by a handicapped boy
Now everyone knows that boy was me
I am a blind and palsied boy
Condemned to life in this wheelchair
Other kids will not play with me
But Knuckles the dog, you were always there
Knuckles goes to the nursing home
To visit the elderly
Abandoned by their own children
Knuckles lifts them from their misery
Knuckles the dog what a very good dog you are
You're the best dog of all the other dogs by far
Knuckles the dog won't hunt
He respects all forms of life
Dying now in my arms
To save me bravely gave his life
Put down by an assassin's bullet
That was meant for me
Knuckles the dog who helps people
Now you are forever free
Knuckles the dog what a very good dog you were (2x)
Knuckles the dog
Knuckles he goes with you
When you explore
Just pull his leash
And go for a walk
He's your dog
For sure

Oh Knuckles...you will be missed!! Xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteYes, we miss him too, but it was time. It's strangely quiet around the house - I didn't know how much noise one little dog could make!
ReplyDeleteHe was a very good dog for someone who was so cranky. We will all miss Master K!
