Our sweet V-Man, Vincent, decided to leave us on October 3rd, 2013. The day after his 10th birthday. I’m not sure if one is ever prepared for the loss of a loved one but we were and still are not. Grieving, trying to get past the sadness is so difficult. But the good memories are beginning to seep in past the sorrow. He was a lab and golden retriever so you can imagine his love of tennis balls. He has been to the top of fourteeners in Colorado, swam in more lakes than we can remember and has played a number of rounds of golf. An active and fun life. We were fortunate that he could be with one of us most of his life. He loved his home, hanging in the grass on the corner of Delgado, barking at nothing in the darkness and being with us. His dear friends Katy, Sheba, Mia and his sister Luna miss his stoic manner. As we miss his sweet cry bark when he lost a ball under the sofa. We were lucky he chose us as his family. We love you Big Yellow Dog.
