Losing Four-Legged Friend

Author: Loriann Miller, student   20.04.2007

Although I know it’s become something of a cliché today, I really did consider our golden retriever to be more than just a pet. Jasper was like a full-fledged member of the family, and he grew up with our son Ralph. The two of them were inseparable in the early days, and Jasper demonstrated great patience when Ralph would pull his ears and tail without knowing better.

 

When Jasper passed away last year of old age, we called Ralph, who was away at college. He didn’t want to betray much emotion over the phone, but I could tell he was just as heartbroken as I was. I went online and bought a wood pet urn to help commemorate the long, fulfilling life Jasper led during his time on earth.
