Sage

[iamom]

Some of you already know that our dog Sage was diagnosed with kidney failure last November. Although he slowed down considerably, he seemed relatively stable and we had been looking forward to spending at least several more months with him.

However, Sage's condition began to deteriorate rapidly on Sunday evening. He died suddenly yesterday morning, February 27th. He passed away at home with all of us around him. His remains will be cremated, and in the spring we'll spread his ashes at his most loved places: his yard, his beloved lake, and his paths through the forest behind his home.

He was a much loved member of our family, and he has left a gaping hole in our lives. Our sorrow seems to know no bounds right now, but we've lovingly and tearfully assembled a collection of photos from throughout his life that we'd like to share. You can view them at our family web page:
