There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.
They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.

We love you, goofy boy, and will miss your endless supply of hugger-duggers
XXXXOOOO
We lost our boy over this past weekend to a sudden illness. The vets don’t know what it was for sure, but suspect a severe viral or bacterial gastroenteritis. He was healthy and happy on his walk Friday morning, but had to be rushed to the ER that evening. Despite diagnostic tests and aggressive treatment, he was unable to fight it off. We dedicated our Tranquil Thursdays post to him, on our blog, There’s a Newf in My Soup! Denise & John
