There are 101 reasons not to have a dog…
but the problem with that is then you don’t have a dog.
One who will…Walk into your heart when he walks in the door (thank you Shirley)
Teach you how to relax…
Make new friends easily… (thanks Hagan, Bailey, Max, Reilly, Ben, Lilly, Honey, Baxter, Casey, & Feebee)
Take you for long walks in the woods…
Do Mick Jagger impressions…
Obsess over sticks…
or logs…
or balls…
Be willing to try an endless list of new things…
Do “Voltar” impersonations… (thanks Janet)
Remind you again & again not to take yourself too seriously.
& be a constant, gentle companion. (Hi Virginia)
Zackariah Little Bear, our border collie, is gone but we will never forget the love, joy, energy & companionship he brought into our lives. Thank you my beautiful buddy.
This blog is dedicated to the memory of all those beautiful creatures who have graced our lives & gone on before us. I am trusting that they have welcomed Zack with open arms. We want to thank the staff at the animal hospital for their compassion & care in the worst circumstances. We also want to send a huge ‘Thank You” with hugs to all our friends, family, neighbors, & even the strangers who stopped to help the other night. Everyone has been so kind & generous & supportive this past horrible week. We don’t know what we’d have done without you all. We simply love you.
