Two years ago today we came home to find our Leo gone, dead on the kitchen floor. We still miss our boy, and wanted to share pics of him. He was a beautiful boy and Tommy's "Little Man". We miss our little friend....

aww he looks soo lovely - im sorry about ur loss

Awww.... he was beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss. I believe you'll see him again someday over the Rainbow Road as they say

Thank you. He was a good boy. He had the greatest sound: he sounded like an old Dodge pickup trying to start.

Also, I would like to note (superficially) that the floors have been replaced since these pics.

Tommy wanted me to insert this note about Leo: He unfortunately had to be leashed outside, as he jumped the fence. (It was only when we weren't out there with him.)

Anyway, right by the back door, we have a set of windchimes that hang on a shepard's hook. When Leo was wanting to come in, he'd stand at the end of his leash and of course, his tail wagged furiously. That tail would hit the windchimes with a "clang-clang" all the time. The day after we buried him in the backyard, under his picnic table, I was in the bedroom, and those chimes were just a movin'! I ran to the kitchen window, expecting to see our Leo. Of course, he wasn't there. But the funny thing was, there was no wind, no trees moving. Nothing out there but the sound of Leo's windchimes. So, he still "talks" to us. Mainly when it's a calm, windless day. Tommy always called him his "Spirit Boy". I cannot wait until we see our boy again.....

Awww. Great story Doggy memories last forever.

aww that last one made me tear up! I love stories like that. he was a great looking boy.

Thank you all. When Tommy found him running the neighborhood, we was a starving boy. No idea how old he was. I only started dating Tommy in 2005, so only got to love him for less than 3 years....he was special! He & I had to come to an understanding after I moved in. Started with him crying to come in the bedroom at night with us which he'd never done. Then 2 weeks or so later, he just wanted his water bowl in the room. A week later, he only needed his kibble in there. That's all....Finally, could he just have a corner of the bed? So, ok, he could have the corner of the bed...And you know, after that sleep time was peaceful, and he never moved from his corner of the bed, even tho I'd have given in to him on that too.....
