In Memoriam: Joe (#231)

Joe Crosses the Rainbow Bridge

Joe
Our wonderful golden, Joe, passed away over spring break. Joe came to us as "Joey" in February 2002 from Golden Bond. Joey was a big (85 lb), dark red golden and the name "Joey" seemed a bit dainty for such a big handsome guy so we started to call him "Joe".

Joe was a loyal and loving guy, truly a gentleman. He was such a part of our family. At times I wondered if he really knew he was a dog. He loved nothing better than to be sitting next to you with a full-body-lean against your leg. Joe and our son were best buddies. Last year we changed Andrew's bed from a twin to a double so Joe could sleep in comfort with Andrew — it was a bit tight in the twin.

Joe
We don't know much about Joe's first 5 years of life but we are very grateful to have been part of his life during the past 5 years and to have had the opportunity to give Joe the life and love he deserved. Thank you to Golden Bond for all that you do and for connecting us with this wonderful dog.

Sally, Mark, Kate, and Andrew
