Condolences to all who knew and loved Gilbert.

My 4 legged housemate is 13. I’m not certain I could compose me feelings or thoughts nearly so well. And he was a rescue dog as well.

Vaya con Dios, Gilbert. I’m glad you had a last grand adventure before saying goodbye.

Having recently put a 4 and a half year old down due to cancer, reading these heartfelt stories is hard. I suggest if you have a dog give it a big hug and a good scratch about now so no one will see your tears.

What a grand adventure it was!

Lovely tribute to a member of the family.

Condolences to Gilbert’s family and friends.
We lost our pal of 14 years nearly 1 1/2 ago and we’re just able to talk about the fond memories now without getting too choked-up.
