Last May I left my story for my buddy Taylor. Echoes of Taylor tried to speak to his life and our loss. Now my Dusty is gone too and I loved him even more…
It was by chance, as such things usually are, that we found him. He jumped into our truck when we pulled over to see if he needed help and he wound up staying for 15 years. No better a dog you could have than Dusty. Big and scary enough to be a good watch dog but not too big I need a shovel to clean up after him. Smart, strong, loyal. Words that only begin to describe. Always with me at work, always my friend. When I married again you took my wife to be your family too. I would sneak up on her in the shop and you would come bark at me like I was going to hurt her but you didn’t try to bite, just worry at me to save her…
I held you while the vet gave you a shot, You died with my voice in your ear, holding you tight….
Always my best dog, my best buddy...
