My Beloved Dog Sage

My beloved best friend, my dog Sage, age 15.5 years old passed away on Dec. 14, 2012. Sage was loved by all. He took great care of me and my other dogs, cats and my son and his dogs, too. He was a big gentle Godfather kinda dog with a smiley friendly attitude we all loved.

My son Keith helped me bury him on my farm on a snowy overcast day. The sun broke through the clouds right after we finished the burial. Keith gave a beautiful speech about how much Sage meant to all of us. It was a comforting ceremony on a lovely site and I visit his grave every day.

Sage and I spent years camping every week up at lake near Colorado. My world always felt safe, full and warm with his loving being around here. I miss him unbearably and will always remember him.
