Connor and I said our final good-byes to my big, black, handsome,
lovable, lug-nut of a labrador this morning. He was my guardian and friend
for 13 years and I had to respect his request to leave when the pain and
discomfort became to much for him. I thank him for teaching me to accept
people for what they are, put aside my expectations of how they should
be,  and still love them unconditionally. He made me feel safe and loved,
and I know he will still look out for us as our guardian angel. He's out of
pain now and I know he has lots of good company up there to guide him
on his way. xoxo Kim & Connor  5-28-09
