Toba

May 2008 to December 16th 2022

Fourteen and a half years ago you came bounding into our lives and into our hearts and now our home will be empty without you. I never wanted a dog, always thought they belonged outside on a farm. Then the youngest daughter was born and she wanted a dog as soon as she could talk. It took me 15 years to say yes, and for her 15th birthday we drive all the way to a small border town to pick up the biggest, cutest puppy. He has spent many years playing, running, swimming, camping and cuddling with each one of us. Toba’s favourite activities were running off leash, rolling in the stinkiest things, chewing on every stick he found, eating all the snow off the deck, and just being together with his humans. When the kids grew up and moved out you stayed with us. Now that you are gone we are truly empty nesters. It hurts to know that you wont come greet us every morning, and every time we come back from work there will be no tail wag and jingling of your collar tags. You were the sweetest dog in the whole world and loved everyone you met.

WE will miss you, run free without pain in heaven my boy.
