October 18th

Well today was the toughest day of my life.  
Jackie and I woke up early Saturday morning to spend the most time with Feynman.  He ate the last of his corny dog and had a couple of blue-berry yogurts for a desert.
As we where leaving to take Feynman to the vet, Snuffles came up sniffed him and licked him on the side of the face.  It was as if they somehow both knew the end was near.

Feynman road in the front seat with me almost driving the car (what a little man).    When we got to the vet I asked Jackie to take one last picture of Feynman and me together.


I hope I face death with as much love in my heart and faith as everything is going to be alright as my little buddy did.  He was so strong and brave for his parents.  I know he wanted to make it easy on everyone.  I held Feynman's head in my arms as I looked into his eyes and heard his last sigh.  GOD help me for what I knew I had to do.  It was the right time as I knew he was suffering.

I want to thank everyone at Harris Parkway animal clinic.  Dr. Richard Young for caring for my animals for so long and Dr. Ann Blue for helping and doing so much for Feynman as he fought so hard to stay strong for his people.
When we got home later this afternoon there was a single rose at our door step and I card signed from everyone from our vets office.   What a gesture of love.  Thank you guys so much.

Thank you to my wife for being so strong and helping me get through this.  You are amazing and I couldn't have made it without you.

Thank you to all my friends and family for their thoughts and prayers.  Thanks to my boss Brady, and Angela for understanding that my furry kids are my real kids.

Thank you GOD for making man's best friends.  They truly show us what love and friendship is all about.

Feynman...I want to thank you for 6 1/2 years of love and kisses and soccer games.  For watching thousand of hours of TV with me and for being by me when I was in pain and sick.
Thank you for making me want to be as good as person as you thought I was.
Thank you for being my best friend in the whole wide world.  You will never be forgotten or replaced.  You will always be " My little buddy".
