Sharing my life with our dogs has always been one of my greatest joys. However, with that joy comes the responsibility of knowing when to allow the source of that joy leave this world with dignity when their time comes. Today was Tobermory’s time.
Tobermory was a unique character with a frantic and hyper un-Labrador-like personality that he never grew out of, but he won our hearts with his sweet, affectionate demeanor. I never thought I would miss his need to inform the world loudly when there was something he wanted like the toy his brother had (“the only toy I want is the one my brother has right now!”), the excited screeches he made every morning until he had received what he considered to be enough cuddles, or the persistent yips directed at me if I had the audacity to glance at my email before giving him breakfast. But, after a dozen years of chaos, our home is now eerily quiet.
