The H Stood For Huckleberry

Those of you who followed this blog in the past know Audrey and I have been blessed with a great life with our dog Eli. Last night, after fifteen and a half beautiful years, Eli finished his time here with us. It breaks our already fragile hearts that we have to say goodbye to him. We have little to say except we are so sorry to see him go. It happened so fast. Our tears can't stop. Our hearts reach out hoping he's in a better place.

We love you friend. I love you. I know you loved us, and we miss you so much.

Your names live on, buddy.

You truly were our best friend. We are forever in debt to you, Eli. Your great spirit joined us too briefly but in the form of such a precious friend. We saw in your eyes that you loved us in return, and we hope you forgive us if we ever let you down. We're so sorry. Thank you for every moment. We love you.

For those of you who also knew and loved Eli, here is a slideshow of memories to remember him by.



Love,
Phil and Audrey
