Words cannot express our pain and sorrow as we grieve for his loss. He has given us 15 years of joy and we are so truly lucky to have had him in our family. There is so much we will miss - how he sat up on his hind legs to get attention, how he loved to play hide and seek, how he enthusiastically responded when we asked "where's your teddy bear?", how he rode on my bike sitting snug in the basket, how he did circles around the house when we got home, and most of all, how he loved us unconditionally. Dinky fell intensely ill towards the last few days of his life, suffering from various health complications. He spent some time in the emergency clinic over the weekend and was taken home to recover on medication in the past few days. Ultimately, his declining health overcame him and he passed away last night. I feel fortunate to have expressed my love and cuddled with him shortly before his passing. I hope he left his life knowing how much he was adored. A Butterfly Lights Beside Us Like a Sunbeam And For a Brief Moment, Its Glory and Beauty Belong To Our World But Then It Flies on Again, And Though We Wish It Could Have Stayed, We Feel So Lucky To Have Seen It Dinky - You will be loved and remembered always... Your Family
