I recently had to say goodbye to someone that I didn't want to say goodbye to - my best buddy and someone that I have spent the past 17 years growing up with. His name was Pepper and he was a most special creature. 



A very intelligent canine, Pepper brought joy and love to everyone whom he met. Sometimes mischievious, he would steal the food off of your plate but no one could get mad at him. The gifts he brought to our household were unparalleled and we knew that and we thank him for that. 



This border-collie cross was with me from the age of 8 onward and was there through every significant turning point in my life thus far, from graduating grade school to graduating college, from my first real job to starting my own business. He was my backbone and someone that provided the unconditional love and support that I needed. For that, I will always remember him and hold him close in my heart. 



"I hope you enjoy Heaven ol' boy...I hope to see you again someday."



In the arms of an angel

Fly away from here

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort there
