Grieving for a Spaniel

On Monday morning, we had to put the Cocker Spaniel to sleep, since he was unable to recover from another disturbance of the blood circulation in his brain.

I don't really know why, but there is something about the nature of the internet that made me want to put up a bunch of pictures of him to tell the world how wonderful and absolutely unique he was. How sweet and friendly, how funny, how amazingly creative and persistent whenever it came to shameless food stealing. What a remarkable swimmer he was and how much he adored tennis balls though otherwise completely unsporty...
