Default Fairwell To A Dear Friend...

Today I preformed a very difficult task. I had to take a friend on his final ride. I hated to do it, I didn't want to do it, but he was sure it was time and so too was I. To the last he was much more brave than I. My family and I will miss him more than words can say. So, in honor of my friend, our faithful dog Hern, I share with you an image from a happier time...

Hern...




Hern Dog

Thanks,

Tom

Awww, such a shame. And they are the sweetest breed of dog. We had one when I was younger and I'd get another in a heartbeat.

I'm so sorry that you've lost such a faithful friend and part of your family.

So sorry, Tom. Nothing I can say can take the pain away. I'm sorry for your loss. A great pic to remember him by.

Hi Tom, am really sorry for your loss. I know it must be hard. I definately am not looking forward to having to make that decision on any of our 3 pets (2 dogs, 1x cat) They truely do "get under your skin" and become part of the household. Thanks for sharing your picture at this tough time.

So sorry Tom! Looks like Herm was very happy and well loved from your beautiful photograph of him. I am sure you and your family will cherish this for many, many years to come. He is forever in your heart and will live in your memories forever.
