When I started this blog I made 3 promises to myself...

 1. Never write about politics.
2. Never write about religion 

(Trust me, Christmas & Easter in our house is purely commercial)

3. Never write about anything sad and depressing.

Well, today I will break promise number 3. 
Not just because I am sad and can't get any work done today but because I wanted to pay homage to a dear dear friend.

I like to think of him as misunderstood. He was very selective in choosing his friends (smart man). But if you were chosen...you were very very lucky..As you see, inside he was just a big ball of mush. I feel extremely grateful and honored that I was chosen. The times he came to stay with us, he was my shadow. When we traveled to Vermont, he and I would take long walks through the woods, he was free, sans leash and ran at top speed through the winding paths like a puppy...always checking back in to see if I was ok.

I realize that their might be some of you out there who don't have a dog and can't understand what it feels like to lose one. I can tell you this, it feels like losing your best friend or your child.

Just by watching Marley & Me, you will instantly understand the relationship between people and dogs. 
(just be sure to bring a ton of tissues).

Sometimes, I believe that they are "more evolved" than humans as a species. They don't believe in drama. They always forgive AND forget. They love you no matter what, even your flaws. They are beyond excited when they see you and sad when you leave. All they want?? A tummy rub, a treat and love.

How many people do you know that are like that?

Starting out life in an alley in Seattle, this pup hit the jackpot. He found two of the most amazing parents and they became a family. They traveled across our massive country and soon he had 3 little sisters to care for and protect.
It was a win/win for both.

So for my friend, I wish for you, green fields to run in, water to romp through and an all-you-can-eat biscuit buffet.


For his family, my heart goes out to you. Thank you for letting me say goodbye today. You are the bravest parents EVER!! He was the luckiest dog in the world and you gave him all that he asked for..
To be loved!


Happy Trails Polkaspots!
