Our dog, Arlo, went to his rest on March 29, 2019. He was 12 years old, and he is greatly missed. Arlo came to our family as a shelter dog. He was intended for one of our children, but ended up being “Dad’s dog”. Andy took great pleasure in walking Arlo, playing with him and taking care of his needs. Arlo loved it when the family would get home in the evening, and would be ready for dinner and a walk. Arlo was an older dog when he came to us (seven years old), so he was not as active as a younger dog. However, that was the right kind of dog for our family. His favorite place was the bed in the master bedroom, where he would take naps during the day, watch TV with us in the evening, and sleep with me and my wife. He was a great snuggler, and was always ready to be close when someone was having difficulty and needed some love. Arlo was Andy’s first dog, and it was in his 50’s that Andy discovered he was a dog person. Arlo will always have a special place in our hearts. We love you, Arlo.
@AndySylvester Thanks for telling us about Arlo, who did great things in teaching Andy to be a dog person. Walking with a dog is one of the greatest joys there is in this life. Thanks for taking such good care of Arlo! When the time is right, bring another dog into your life. 🐕
@Ron thanks so much for for your kind words! I am confident that we will get another dog, just need a little time to mourn…..
@AndySylvester That’s good news. No need to rush it, go through the mourning process at your own pace. Best of luck to you all.
