Saying goodbye to Reilly

Last weekend we finally had to say goodbye to Reilly, the dog who outlived several vet estimates and was always a fighter.I can’t even count the number of times I thought we were nearing saying goodbye over the years. In fact we got Juneau in December of 2013 because we thought he was nearing the end back then.

If you would like to read about his crazy history, I talked about it when we celebrated his 12th birthday. In fact Riles made it past 13.5 years old, really the life range of a normal dog.

Thank you for being the most obedient and cuddly dog I’ve ever met Reilly. I hope you are somewhere with full sight again and using those springy legs of yours to catch all those balls you couldn’t anymore. I look forward to the day we meet again and you thunk down against me with your whole body again just happy to share the space.
