Another old friend has passed over today–our 9 year old shepherd mix dog, Jester. It was kind of a shock. He hadn’t been ill, played with his friend, Mari just a day or two ago, and was cheerful and happy yesterday.

But this morning when I went out to feed him, I found him stretched out under his favorite tree, looking so much like he was asleep. It was hard to believe that he was gone.

Run free, big guy. Have fun wherever you are. We miss you already.
