This past Friday David, myself, and Molesley, laid Trouser to rest in the yard just off the back deck. A sunny spot in the middle of the lawn where he loved to play. Today, we bought a rose bush to plant, one that will grow pink and yellow flowers.

A big thank you from all of us to those that left comments, best wishes, prayers, and thoughts. It was most appreciated. Thank you.
