The ultimate gift . . .
It has to be the most difficult of all decisions we face. The companions who share our lives ask for so little. Food, shelter and love. But what they give to us in return can't be measured. We never really understand the impact they have until it's time to say good bye. My son and his family adopted Nate from OHS when he was a year old. He has spent the next 12 years doing what he does best, being a good boy. But his body was wearing out and even though his spirit was intact, they knew it was just a matter of time. This morning Nate let them know that he was ready to say good-bye. He had done his job, being the best boy he could be, caring for them and teaching them. His life lessons of unconditional love were shared with a cold nose, wagging tail and a gentle paw on a knee. And when he asked them, they gave him the ultimate gift of freedom and let him go quietly and peacefully while they stood by his side. Nate will be missed so much and remembered for doing what he did best, being a good boy . . .
