Farewell Faithful and Loyal Friend


On Monday August 2, 2010 Thunder passed away.

I can't say much because it still makes me teary eyed.
Somethings I want to remember are:

He took his job seriously. Every night he would go in all the kids rooms and check his "pups" before he turned in for the night.


Every time I brought a new child home he met me as a proud as Scott to welcome the new arrival.

He allowed our sick ones to cuddle with him. There were many a times when some one had a fever, ear infection or just a bad day that nothing a blankie and Thunder couldn't fix

One night he saved me from a Critter from under my bed


In the last days I struggled to let him go. I didn't want to because he was a puppy in an old man's body. He was frustrated and ashamed about that. He was in pain.

About 5 mins after he was gone I felt at peace.

The last thing he did here at the house was kiss Ruby good-bye from out the car window.


He was my running partner.....my buddy ... my dog.


Miss ya Thunder.
Good Dog!

OH WOW... Such a touching tribute to a fearless friend. The end is one reason why I can't get a pet..saying goodbye sucks. I'm sorry for you and the kids, but you said it best, the pain is no more... Rock on Thunder!
