A good dog, is a great friend


Sometimes you lose your best friend, and the shock can cause the mind to go into denial. That happened to us last night. We live on a quiet road, but accidents can still happen, and our 6 year old dog Mason was hit by a neighbor. It wasn’t their fault and they came knocking on our door visibly upset that they had hit him, but he was chasing my son in his truck, when the neighbor was coming in the opposite direction. He died instantly.

Mason was one of the best dogs we have ever had. Part blue tic heeler and part doberman. He would sit regally, as if he was an ancient Egyptian god statue squatting like the Sphinx with paws out front, yet always on alert. Great on voice and whistle commands, defender of home and children, but also an avid bird, cat, squirrel, and butterfly chaser. This sometimes was pretty comical. He will be sorely missed.
