Good dreams, old friend.

Well, it came too soon. A few days ago our dear dog Lionel developed a real problem with his hip, on the left side. And went rapidly down from there. We've been basically carrying him in and out, the last couple of days.

It's the hardest decision you have to make, but it's one you have to make.

And we did, today. We spent some time with him together in the back yard, then his vet of many years came to the house, and we let him go.

Tuesday, went to a memorial for an old coworker from Origin days.

The weekend before, went to the coast to spread the ashes of a dear, dear friend.

And now we sat in the grass together, as he relaxed, and his eyes closed, and I hope he dreamed of the good days we all had together.

It may be the right thing, but it's never the easy thing. And this was the hardest of them all.

Goodbye, Lionel Trainwreck Puppypuppypuppy.
