Moses

Today sucked.

Today we said goodbye to a part of our family.

Caanan's Rod of Moses

Affectionately known as 'Posey'.

He was a good dog. He didn't have a mean bone in his body.

He was an awesome retriever & brought back many a bird.

He also shed more than his body weight in hair everyday & ate trash like it was the best thing ever.

Moses was a lover not a fighter.

And he was a good companion to 4 children who loved him very much & who are heartbroken today.

There is also a big, strong cowboy type who shed a few tears.

Today flat sucks.

He was part of our family for 12 years.

He went to Yosemite with us. To the Grand Canyon. To the beach. To a million crummy other little places in between. 

He's on our Christmas cards & in our family portraits.

Our house is going to be a lonely, albeit less hairy, place.

(the trash eating will continue because Uncle Moses passed his love of this on to Toby)

Hug your pups. They don't last forever.

We miss you Posey. Good dog.

Blessings.
