    R. I. P. Willis

    At 11:10AM this morning, Willis passed away. There was no pain and suffering. To all of you that knew him, I thank you for your help and kind words the past few months, they were and will be appreciated forever.

    So sorry to hear this Charlie, I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I know it is not easy, but as they already told you . . . try to remeber the good times.
    That's what I am trying to do with the loss of my old horse on Saturday, but it's also what makes me the saddest.
    I am feeling it with you Charlie.

    That's the stuff that you'll remember when the pain eases - the funny things they did. I'm so sorry and understand what you're feeling all too well - they're like part of the family. I'm glad he had one last opportunity to bark at everybody coming over on Saturday. My thoughts are with you.

    Kim, I was so worried about Saturday, and I know deep down that things turned out the way they did for a reason, I am glad that we got the good side. Your pictures are beautiful by the way. Thanks for sharing them.

    Oh, I didn't notice anything unusual, so he must've been having a good day. Things just seem to work out the way they should sometimes.

    Sorry to hear about Willis Charlie. I also remember when I first meant him. He didn't make me want to pee down my leg tho. Guess Rob and I had different experiences with him. I know its a hard time but just remember that he won't be in pain any more.

    I'm very sorry for your loss Charlie, I have three right now.

    There were three that came before them, and each loss was very painful.

    I have no brilliant words but I would like to offer the following link:




    This is Jimmy Stewart reading a poem he wrote about his dog named Beau in 1981.....(On Johny Carson Show).....
    It is beautiful, and puts into words things I wish I could express.....
    Warning.....Have Kleenex handy.....

    It took a little bit of convincing, but I finally pried Rob's hands off the door handle of his truck.
