Today we lost our best friend, our baby, our companion, the love of our life, Bart. He blessed us with his strength and fierce loyalty for 14.5 years. He was a dog like no other, the confidence, intensity, and courage he attacked life with left many in awe over him. But the sweetness, compassion, and kindness he shared with us changed who we are as people. He made us stronger, more loving, more confident, and more free. He taught us so much about how to live life with grace,... gratitude, and with conviction. He died the same way he lived life, on his terms... He wasn't ill, had a normal day - and at some point during the night, without making a single sound, he left us. We grieve and our hearts are aching from the loss of this beautiful soul, teacher, companion in our lives. But we know his spirit will live with us and give us the strength to be the voice for animals and people - to have the confidence to accomplish amazing things for others... RIP BART...
