Armstrong died today after a short illness. He died in our arms, surrounded by love, his big head in my lap.
It was a gentle walk to the other side.
Armstrong was a big, strong airedale. He loved to slam his head into you for hugs. He was big, but gentle, a true gentle giant. A true gentleman.
Armstrong loved life, he lived for his games with his brothers, Cussy, Teddy & Pepsi, his wrestles with his dad Tony. He LOVED his food, especially cookies & marrow bones.
If only we could be more like him. Strong but gentle, fiercely brave & loyal, yet sensitive. Thoughtful but full of fun, live every day to the fullest. Armstrong you taught us so much.
I will try to live up to being the person
that he thought I was.
“Armstrong, you will always be my forever dog. Be at peace, be happy, play hard with your brother Cussy. I will see you again one day.”
Until then, know that you are missed beyond words. Know that you walk with me in my heart…forever.
