The saddest of days

“Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”




It is with a heavy heart that, today, I report the passing of Gryphon.
Soiler of furniture, scourge of mail-carriers, artistic creator of intricate drool patterns
(&/or lakes)
and, truly one of the sweetest and most noble spirits I’ve ever encountered.
May the squirrels in dog heaven be slower,
the strangers less frightening,
and the sink always be turned on for your middle-of-the-night drinks.
Our love, of course, will always be with you.

  1. :-( Ah, my heartfelt condolences, friend. He looks to have been a sweet old darling with tremendous character. And such lovely tribute; you have honored him well.
    All the best, Tammy (aka "Cybele")
