Day 339: Farewell to a King.
Hawk 1993-2006
If I have beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons. - James Thurber
We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan. - Irving Townsend.
God sat down for a moment when the dog was finished in order to watch it ... and to know that it was good, that nothing was lacking, that it could not have been made better. - Rainer Maria Rilke

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace." - Milan Kundera
Peace to you, Hawk, and to all who love you.
be at peace, hawk. cross the river and rest in the shade of the trees.
my deepest condolences to all who loved him.
My thoughts are with you and for your King.
May peace be with you.
