Friends ... Wednesday we had to put Babe, our 14+ year old yellow lab, to sleep. There are only a few things that can bring a grown man to tears, among them are the death of his Mom, the birth of his Son, the marriage of his Daughter and saying good-bye to his "best friend". Babe, you came into our lives in 2001 as a rescue and changed it forever. You were scared and tattered, looking for love and you found the perfect family. Shy and timid, it took you some time to warm and trust but you soon realized our hands were kind, and you were safe. Through the years, you watched as the family grew with both, human and furry friends. You were unique in so many ways but really only asking for companionship and love. No, you never chased a ball, nor did you ever retrieve a bird but you were loyal and the best camping dog anyone could ever ask for. We watched as you slowed down in your senior years but never saw your desire to please or provide companionship fade. There will always be a void in our life but we are happy knowing you’re in a better place now. Enjoy the warm fire. Thank you for all the great memories … we’ll miss you.
