Jet Setter
Despite the craziness that sometimes defines our lives, from ocean imports, sales analysis, and product development to sick kids, homework and marathon grocery shopping - sometimes life has to stop and time is asked to stand still.
On Friday, while nestled on his blanket and his head gently resting in our hands – he took his last breath.
Tommy, named after a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger (although Ben claims Pete Townsend’s Pinball Wizard), was the only dog we knew that chased contrails in the sky. Obviously threatened by jets at 20,000 feet over upstate New York, he had beat down a path in our woods where he would run back and forth, back and forth, barking and jumping until the contrail was gone. Success every time.
In all his Golden-Retrieverness he added joy, love and humor to our lives. You will be dearly missed. Rest peacefully Big Red.
