he was such a great dog. he never bit or snapped at the children, even at their most rambunctious. he caught rats, sat in our laps, always laid right in the middle of the hallways, hardly ever laid on the couch, and only wandered out of the front yard one memorable time.
we had to take him to the vet today. his body was worn out, sick and old. we'll miss having his hair flying everywhere and his soft fur to warm our feet on at night. we are grateful for the blessing of a loving dog to share our home for so long.
