Andy 2001 – 2017

December 17, 2017 By Jeff 82 Comments

I used to remind Andy, from time to time, that he won life’s lottery when we took him home from the shelter on September 9, 2001. And that’s true enough. But we also hit the jackpot that day. I don’t know how it would be possible for there to be a better dog. Rest in peace, buddy. You were a great friend.

    I am really sorry, Jeff. As always, I am here if there’s any way to make things better. Might I be so bold as to suggest a celebration of life?

    We could all get together, have spaghetti, beat the shit out of the hippie dippy mailman, and sling urine about your yard.
