Goodbye Pinto


When we first met, I was just trying to find a new home for you... I never imagined that we were to become a team, but a team we became, and we had many adventures together. and I will miss you.

We traveled the highways and the byways all across the country and down in to Mexico. I couldn't have asked for a better "road dog". We chased the coyotes in California, we swam in the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans, Lake Michigan, the Sea of Cortez, the Susquehanna and parts of the Colorado, we hiked the continental divide... now, those days are over and I will miss you.

There were times when I got home later than I should have, and you really needed to go out, but you never gave me a hard time. You were always grateful (even when I switched to different brand of dog food) for what we had and what we had together, and I will miss you.

You never questioned me or my sanity. You were up for anything and always on call, and I will miss you.

I'm sorry that your last days were rough ones, I wish there was something more that I could have done... but in the end you still loved me, and I will always miss you.

Goodbye Pinto.

Only One Life...

We only get one shot at this, so let's embrace our REAL humanity and become the people we are supposed instead of the people we've become. Think of the countless millions who have gone on before us and how much they would give to have the chance to do it all over again.
