We put good ole Spot down tonight. He was an 18+ year old wire hair fox terrier whom we loved very much.
We spent the last 8 years finding that the word "spot" appears in an amazing number of sentences & words & experiences.
When cataracts began to impair his vision, we put a tiny LED light on his collar to help him see. He loved his Spotlight (really fun was when we met up with his friend Maggie, who was without a light - Spot suggested her owners get her a Maglight).
He could always find us a great parking spot.
Loved his hometown of Spotsylvania. He was the mayor.
He starred in the movie "Spotacus".
We loved seeing Spot before our eyes.
X marked the Spot he loved to have rubbed.
With 8 years of coming up with Spot-related sayings, it about broke our hearts when we came up with the subject line of the email to tell our friends of his passing and the subject line of this post. The "spot" sayings always seemed so obvious in hindsight. Glad I didn't see this one coming either.

Thanks all. Anita & I certainly know how much all of you love your furkids and also know how sad you are for us.
We're getting through. Haven't leaked much at all today...until now ;-)
