Blacktop

Blacktop was laid to rest Tuesday, October 7. Although we didn't live with her anymore, Will and I had the opportunity to go over Henry's house and say goodbye one last time. She was about 3 or so, I guess, when I started dating Henry in 1997. I still considered her my dog, even after the divorce. She was a comfort when things were bad. I know that she didn't like some people, and some people didn't like her. But she was a good dog to me and my son. She protected us and made us feel safe. She always greeted us with tail wagging. She would play fetch, chase a light shone on the floor, and give us her paw. She would creep down the hallway at night to sleep by us... and when Henry was not around, she would hop into bed with us. I couldn't have asked for a better dog.
We will miss her very much.
