Last week we had to say good-bye to our beloved Riley. We adopted Riley from MHWC Rescue in December 2005. His sweet personality and charm made us laugh and smile each and every day. He was an active guy who loved to hike, run and chase balls (because fetching meant he had to bring the ball back to us). But he also loved to soak up the sun shining in the back door in his favorite position - on his back with four paws in the air. Based on the number of calls, texts, Facebook messages, cards and even flowers, he was loved by one and all. His "grandparents" wrote "...even when we hadn't seen him for a while, he always greeted us warmly, wagging his tail and looking for a moment of affection. I guess maybe you could attribute that to just being a dog, but we thought Mr. Riles was special." We miss Riley dearly and know he is footloose and pain-free in the mountains above. Riley was our first weim but he won't be our last.
Rest in peace, "Handsome."
