This guy....what a treasure. His nickname Goodboy Marty. He was a good boy. Rescued at 7 and more than 10 wonderful years with us. Yet, 10 was not enough. We think of him and all those birthdays. First wishing he could make 10, then maybe 11, wow you think he'll live to 13? He survived and lived and taught us about love and gratitude and he made sweet 16 and then 17....but the big guy upstairs decided there would be no earthly 18th. So we think of him and I close my eyes and hear him...Happy heavenly birthday goodboy.....
