(Scroll down for lyrics…)

Asher was an earnest, smart, and affectionate dog. He settled well, was awesome to take on a car or canoe ride, delighted in “Keep Away” and body rubs, and loved, loved, LOVED a great many people. It’s a testament to his personality that we think a couple of families were inspired by him to adopt dogs of their own.

The video is a little “Best Of”, and if you want to see even more of “the best decision we ever made as a married couple” (Kit’s expression, and I agree), just search for #AsherTheSchnoodle.

Ludicrous

You started small
Just a bouncing ball of fuzz
And you made us laugh because
We couldn’t keep you contained at all

Flat on the couch
Single hoop in my left ear
Never should have let you near
‘Cuz then you bit it and ripped it out

      And loving you is ludicrous
      Just look at what you do to us

We tumbled out
To the sidewalks and the lawns
To reveal what’s going on
And to relieve any local drought

You settled down
On a chair or in the car
Such a stoic superstar
You didn’t care long as we’re around

      And loving you is ludicrous
      Just look at what you do to us

Through all the years
Never lost your favorite game
Grab the toy and run away
Then turn around with those hopeful ears

Fast turned to slow
And we cherished every day
Till the night you went away
We see your face every place we go

      And losing you is ludicrous
      Just look at what you do to us
      And loving you is ludicrous
      Just look at what you do to us

      Look at what you do to us…
