We discovered a v.s.d. 

at just a month old. 

“He won’t make his first birthday” 

Or so we were told. 

Refusing to accept this, 

We went on a mission: 

We met Dr. Schrope and Chris, 

A team with a vision. 

We learned something more promising: 

Spike just needed surgery. 

So a pulmonary artery banding 

was performed on his first birthday. 

Spike enjoyed many carefree years, 

winning the hearts of all He met. 

He endured his share of fears, 

conquering every one without fret. 

Sadly, now our hearts are heavy 

because our Spikealicious has moved on 

We can find joy in His memory: 

For it is on your left shoulder He sits upon.
