Our hearts skipped beats to the trot of our little buddy Baxter, when he chose us to be his forever family in the late summer of 2008. His favorite lounge was on our back deck with the sun shining on his little head, taking in the sounds of a New York Yankee ball player cracking one out of the park. Baxter loved pup cups and car rides, tearing into presents on holidays and sleeping in on the weekend. He was our alarm clock in the morning and like clockwork…he kept watch until we were safely tucked in at night. He was the best brother to Goddard and Buttercup…good natured and gentle. Although Bax had a good little run…we yearned for more… more time for his sweet little licks…and a few more snuggles. May he be free from pain…leaping clouds and playing with his siblings in heaven…and hopefully someday…he will leap in our arms again…until then…we will look for the joyful and playful…that presents itself in our day to day experience and know he is with us. We miss you Bax…we love you forever…
