In Memory of Dante...

I just got word that Kellie lost her wonderful Dante this afternoon to cancer. I was there visiting in early September when they got the diagnosis. I'm very honored to say that I got to go on a wonderful hike to Cape Falcon with Kellie and Dante last month, and I'll always cherish that memory

If only more people were as kind and gentle as Kellie's dog Dante was, the world would be a much, much better place.

We'll miss you so much Dante!!!

Sorry for your loss Kelly. I remember a number of pics posted of Dante. My oldest DD had a wonderful Rotty. FANTASTIC dogs in the right home. Sounds like Dante couldn't have had a better one.
Thanks Andi!

Still crying here, but thanks for the kind thoughts, OED and Andi.

He looks like he was a real sweetheart. He coulda swallowed those girl's heads whole, but he was content to be next to them.

My sympathies to you also, Kellie, for the loss of your beloved Dante.

He was obviously the best of companions to you and possessed a sweet and loving nature. ((((Kellie)))))

Oh, Kellie, I'm so sorry. I remember the posts from Andi's visit to you earlier. It's hard to lose such a good friend.

My deepest condolences to you, Kellie. What a beautiful boy he was. May your sorrow ease in time and be replaced with gentle memories of Dante.

Thank you, Andi, for the post.

What is so hard is that I keep seeing him out of the corner of my eye, or having the normal routine of loving him up and saying goofy things not be there any more. This is the first time in about 27 years that we have had no animals and we are going through Empty Nest Syndrome big time!!

Kellie - I can send my girls down to you for a while to keep you company

But you know, they would think it was strange without Dante there too

They told me to give you a hug ((((HUG))))

Dante was such a big sweetie and always happy to greet us when the few times we came to visit, and Daniel and I are both saddened to hear of his passing. I know he'll always be with you in your heart. ((hugs))
