Bethlehem, NH --- Maya Bettencourt - the beloved pet of Roberta, James and Arthur - passed away peacefully in her sleep on Saturday night, February 18, 2006, at her lifelong home on Mt. Cleveland Road.
Maya, a border collie/English sheepdog mix, was born of a farming family in North Haverhill, NH, in late June 1991. She first met the Bettencourts in a livestock barn at the annual North Haverhill Fair, where she and her siblings were being sold for $25.00 each, as their mother was unable to care for them. And so it was that she moved to Bethlehem at the age of 6 weeks.
Being of an highly intelligent nature, as is the way with border collies, Maya quickly found her niche within the household. She was James's ever joyful playmate and protector and served as Arthur's devoted, loving and loyal friend through good times and bad. For Roberta, Maya was a constant companion when it came to anything having to do with firewood. She was the self-appointed superintendent of splitting and stacking operations and unfailingly oversaw the transport of wood from the shed to the house.
Maya's interests were many and included walks in the woods where absolutely everything had to be sniffed; chewing on pieces of wood and reducing them to pulp; racing through freshly fallen snow and stuffing her head into the snow looking for who-knows-what; playing stick; going for a r-i-d-e in the car or helping plow snow and eating. She was a bottomless pit - refusing nothing, except Brussels sprouts!
She was full of enthusiasm and had a way about her that could brighten even the darkest of days. Whenever spoken to, she looked at you so intently with those big brown eyes and it seemed that she understood every word. A visitor once commented that Maya was the only dog he had ever known who would bark and wag her tail at the same time.
Maya will be greatly missed by us all and the presence of her absence is keenly felt by those of us with whom she shared her life span of nearly 15 years.
