Shea will always be the best Christmas gift I ever received. An unwanted rescue deemed too incorrigible he came to be our beloved boy through a series of inane events (thank you forever Sarah and Janelle). Highly intelligent he responded to many variants of throw and fetch, hurling his ball behind me on the couch to trap it so the game could continue. He loved water, people and other dogs, his enthusiasm for said target often tying me up in his leash. He could sense illness and sadness and leaned against those who were suffering. Loving to his sister, respectful per my request towards the cat. I loved the way you held your paw over my hand so I would continue petting your face. You graced this earth for thirteen years, I wish it had been more. Thank you to the great docs. at South Mesa, VCA and CSU oncology, he would have left us much earlier without you. RIP Beautiful Boy 12/4/04 – 11/20/17
