In honor of Otto

On July 11, 2010 I lost my Otto.  He went to the Rainbow Bridge with me holding him and telling him how much I loved him.  I know it was the right thing to do-to let him go-but it was the hardest thing I have ever done.  I always wondered how I would know when the time came.  How do you make a decision like that?  I have been afraid of that day for years.  And it finally came.  I never thought Otto would be the first of my fur kids to leave me, but he was so sick.  I just could not let him suffer.  He was the best boy and I miss him every single day.  I know he is running around Dog Heaven (yes, I do truly believe there is one) barking and eating as many treats as he wants.  His friends are there: Finn, Zack, Sophie, Beau and Max and so many others.  I will never forget how soft his ears were or how sweet he was when you got one of his very rare kisses.  Otto, I will always love you and you always be my most special boy.

Otto was a sweet boy and he was lucky to have you to take care of him.
