TOMBO--May 25 1985-March 16, 2001
I love you very much and I hope that you are running and playing all over again somewhere. I thank you for being there
through all the phases of my growing in the city for 12 years. You were the one who has been there all the time.
You were the one who put his head in the door while I was taking a bath.
You were the one who jumped on the counter at the grocery and were not too proud to beg.
You were the one who stood by my bed like a guard when I was having an emotional moment.
Back was turned to me, but you were my emotional guard. You were the one who loved turkey from the place I waited tables at.
You were the one who loved to interrupt meetings at my house with your tail and friendly nose.
You were a strong dog who lived to 15 yrs and 10months.
You did not want to show you were in pain. You made the decision for yourself that it was time for you to leave this world.
I inherited you from your original owner, and not a day went by when I questioned whether or not I was living up to what you had. I love you Tombo I miss you Tombo I hope to meet you again someday.
You were a gem in my life, and You will remain one forever.
