Baxter-
Over the last twelve years, you were a gentle giant for our family. 110 lbs of love for everyone you met. When you were young, we made the decision to provide you new hips instead of putting you down. It was a decision we never regretted, and you provided us over 12 years of love and loyalty. You were the rock I leaned on at times, and your loyalty and presence will be missed by all. The last 8 years living out in the country you had the time of your life, whether it was swimming at the pond, taking walks in the pasture and treelines, trying to chase the wildlife, and just being around the house. Over the rainbow you will have your two companions Bernie and Bella waiting for you. You were a warrior and although cancer can take away your body, it cannot touch your spirit and memories of your loving kindness and loyalty. Until we meet again my big red friend,
Your loving family,
| Baxter |
