He had not been well for the last week or so. He survived a sever stroke almost a year ago this coming week and I was so lucky to have his companionship for almost another full year. His picture attached would be exactly how he would want to be remembered. He simply was always there and of all my dogs he was the one who had the biggest share of my heart. I credit him solely with keeping me alive during some very dark moments of my life. I have never had a dog who took such simple pleasure in doing anything he could do - anything at all - for me . He was the only one who I could completely count on to come when he was called. A small thing really but a constant source of joy and wonder to me. He never asked for and I can never remember a moment when he made me angry in any way. He forgave me and I forgave him anything.   His companionship and love will be sorely and deeply heartfelt missed till the end of my days.  I left him alone at the vet's where he died alone.  I will never forgive myself for doing that. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>He has had to leave me behind for now but I have no doubt we will be together again and make this walk, side by side. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Thunder you will always be by my side</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="31a1aa80.jpg" border=0 width="282" height="424" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
