My condolences on the loss of your fur kid
I got to name him, and my wife named Sebastian. I named him after my childhood hero. Unfortunately my MacGyver was not as bright as the fictional character but what he lacked in brains he made up for in sweetness. I really miss him a lot. I really do appreciate all the warm thoughts and condolences - it really does help! I’m still super sad but have been able to look at pictures today and smile fondly instead of immediately tearing up. Hearing you all share about your fur babies really does help so thanks. I think we all look forward to seeing our fur babies again some day.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” |

| Our deepest condolences… Takes a lot to do the right thing in these situations. Love the post about dogs being bits of sunshine on earth.

| It is never easy losing a loyal companion. For the years you have them they show how much you mean to them every time you come home and open that door. Sorry for your loss of MacGyver.
