Spots

This afternoon we lost a four legged member of our family. Spots. He was a huge, lovable Great Dane and lived longer than any of us could have imagined. My father-in-law rescued him from the shelter 11 years ago as a puppy. It isn't hard to make an impression when you're a loveable lap dog that is 175 pounds. He was sweet, loyal and so protective. My mother-in-law, Ana, is the Mother Theresa of pets. She took care of him until his last breath today. He hasn't been well and she knew his time was near. She has cried so much today there are no tears left. Although Heaven received a kind soul today, we are left with many memories and hearts' full of sadness.
