It pains me that I'm on the other side of the country and couldn't be there in your final moments. As early as I was able to understand it, I'd been scared for the day you'd no longer be with us. But 15 years is a long life for a dog, I don't know that we could have asked for much more time than that.
For the time we had you, you were a wonderful companion. I'll miss you.
Rest in peace, buddy.
