Good Bye, Oscar

Our family is saddened today by the loss of our companion, friend, and fearless dog Oscar. Oscar's been with Darrell for 12+ years and it is estimated that he lived a life of 18 years! What a resilient and faithful pet. Oscar ended up in kidney and liver failure and in bad shape this past weekend. He fought gallantly and hardly seemed fazed by his body's shut down when we said our good byes on Monday. Dinner last night without him at our feet was tough. This morning getting ready for work without his slumbering body sprawled across the hallway was difficult. He truly exhibited the qualities in a dog that led people to describe canines as "man's best friend". We'll miss you, Oscar!

Yes, we heard about Oscar, and we're so sorry! I can't imagine what that will be like for us someday with Disney. It's just funny how about of our daily life they become!
We'll miss Oscar too.
