Baar has very sad news. Him's friend Corkey has gone to what comes next. Baar knows that him is ok and that Baar will see him again, but Baar will miss him. Corkey would run so fast and Baar would run too! Baar is very sad for the people. They do not seem to understand all the way that Corkey is not just gone. Baar heard many stories about Corkey this weekend. Joe said that when Corkey first came to live with him he was very small and had a very big head. Him used to run into walls because it was hard for him to turn! Him also loved to eat little plastic boxes that people buy things with. Him even ate pepper spray and did not even get a tummy ache!
Corkey loved to play fetch and would play as long as the people would throw. Baar does nto understand fetch... why do the people throw it if they want it back? Corkey liked it though and him had lots of fun. Baar thinks that Corkey was very smart.
For a while Corkey also loved going to soccer. Him used to push around the ball and almost all the kids and parents at Lakewood soccer thought Corkey was the best.
Corkey loved him's family very much. Baar could tell. Him's favorite people were so important to him that him would bark to protect them whenever someone came to the house. Even though Corkey wasn't the biggest dog, him had the biggest heart. Him even had kitties that were him's friends! Baar can not seem to make that happen for him. Corkey learned how to cuddle more because him's mommy wanted to cuddle with him more. Him was so good that him did not even need to have a leash. Him would stay close to him's people and come back when they called.
Corkey spent him's last day here with so many people that loved him. His pack all came to visit him before it was time to go. Emily, Joe, Beth and Tony all went with Corkey to help him begin him's journey. Him has been in lots of people's thoughts and has had candles lit to light the way.
Baar hopes that all of him's friends will keep Corkey and his pack in their hearts.
