all dogs go to heaven.

today was (as my brother put it) tragic. 

our dog Edison lived a very happy life. however, today we lost a very good friend. it was the right thing to do, but it doesnt make the situation any easier. instead of remembering today as sad and very scary, i would like to remember Eddy in his happiest of states. 

Eddy loved to soak his entire body in the backyard pond on hot days… his huge paw prints would be all over the house. my mama called him SWAMP THING

Coming home for holidays, my brothers and I all fought over who got to sleep with Eddy- even though he was a bed hog, and stole the covers. always. 

Ed would follow you all over the house. He would even sit outside the bathroom door waiting for you. 

Edward was also known as Medicine.

He was so good with my niece, even when she built her block towers on top of him.

And he would do anything for cheese.

i hope that Edison is at peace somewhere in doggy heaven. we loved you Medicine.

here are some pics of the big guy.
