Our Precious Solo, 1996-2009

Last night, our precious Solo finally decided it was time to go home. The look in his eyes simply told us he was done. He was almost 14 and had defide the odds for several years. Will got Solo at 6 weeks old, long before we had met. The first time I went to Will's house, I turned down the street to find Will at the end of the cul-de-sac, surrounded by kids, with Solo doing a little show for them.
Solo has been an amazing companion to us and has been ever patient and kind with our kids. It is no stretch to say Solo was the best dog ever. He will be deeply missed, but we can't help but smile to think of him being in heaven, pain free, just waiting for us to come home.......like he always did.

























Solo was there for me when I had no one else. He patiently waited when I met Chey, and he waited even more when the next, and the next and the last child came. And now he is gone and I smile at how wonderful and loving he was to everyone. Tears come to my eyes when I think about how much I will miss that wonderful, wonderful dog. Unconditional love, forgiveness, and loyalty, an angel, a heavenly example to me. I love you Solo. Good-bye Friend.

Will Hayes, your Master.
