Farewell, My Most Beloved Friend - a photo on Flickriver

Farewell, My Most Beloved Friend

            A few weeks ago my dog, Samwise, suddenly passed away. I've been offline for a while, mourning him and adjusting to his absence. He died while my husband and I were on vacation. We learned afterwards it was quick and peaceful and that there was basically nothing we could have done about what happened. We named him Samwise because he was truly a little hobbit; short, stout, extra hairy, loved food, loved being around people, and, just like the character in the book, he was loyal and steadfast. While there were times I felt like he may have slowed me down during a hike, I still believe I couldn't have asked for a better adventure companion, and we went on so many adventures together. I will miss him so much.

He was a constant reminder to not take life too seriously and to enjoy the simple things. It's amazing the deep bonds we make with our pets. Their love, quirky personalities, and companionship make them the best friend/family member that we as humans have the privilege of experiencing.

This was taken at Mirror Lake during our multi-day hike in the Wallowas of Oregon.
