Henry

We lost our sweet old dog Henry this afternoon....it's been coming all week and we hated to see him go, but it was finally time...

Henry came to us 15 years ago....a mangy, malnourished, apparently young dog, that showed up in a friend's yard just days before she moved to Florida....she took him to the vet and had him being fixed up when she asked us if we knew anybody that might take him...the vet's office was on our way home, we stopped, and it's obvious what happened from there...

Protective, loyal, smart...a real dog's dog....he clung to me the first few years....I'd carry him around which looked ridiculous since he wasn't really carry around size and his long legs made him gangley...he was always my baby...on a trip to the mountains a long time ago, I found a greatful dead collar for him that he seemed to be right proud of...I loved having a deadhead dog...

He was the last of our original pack...he was with us a long time and we were so lucky to have had him in our lives for as long as we did...it's been a sad week, lots of tears, anxiety, and goodbyes...

Now he's at rest, hopefully with the ones that went before...being the big brother they all loved...

sweet dreams Henry, guard the house
