I lost my buddy today.

Saturday (yesterday's post) I went home for the weekend and took Falcon out to the lake.  Today Falcon past away of what we think was a heart attack.  -He was my buddy, and a buddy to my Mom, Dad, and brothers.  He could only do one trick and didn't play fetch.  -But if we said, "Taco Bell" he would tilt his head in an that adorably-cute-way-that-is-impossible-for-you-not-to-smile.

I can't believe he is gone.  I already miss him so much.  -We got Falcon about 4 years ago.  He was a great buddy.  -He was there for the good times, and bad times, and quite often made the bad times better or much more bearable.  -He was playful, an invincible coward sometimes, he made us smile, made us feel safe.

Above are two photos from the first time we got to meet Falcon.  He had no trouble warming up to us.
Falcon sits on Aaron's lap- I think because something scared him.  -Despite his size, he was pretty much a lap dog.
I tried getting a picture of me and Falcon a few years ago.  He was more interested in socializing with the girl behind the camera.


Falcon looked like an intimidating animal- but even the smallest things could scare him.  In this picture something scared him so bad he ran and hid in my parents closet.
Falcon and I play at a dog park.
Two dogs at a dog park and butt heads... Falcon comes in to break it up.

This is one of the last photographs I took of him before he died.  He was such a beautiful creature.  I am going to miss him so much.  His time with us was too short -but I am so thankful I had this dog.

Spring!

The leaves aren't here yet, but I welcomed the warm weather with a walk around the lake with my dog, Falcon.  I take them out all year round pretty much whenever I get the chance.  -It is just a lot more comfortable now! :D
