So long and thanks for the kids.

It’s been a long time in the coming, but today, we say goodbye to our big red dog Clifford. He lived to a ripe old age of 30 years (all under our stewardship), but he’s going to hospice now, with benefits to Oregon Public Broadcasting.

115,000 miles, 3 babies, beach and surf 🏄 trips, ski ⛷️ adventures, volcano 🌋 traipsing, high and low country 🏕️ , long trips 🚐 and oh so many family outings and building supply deliveries.

Soccer teams, Brownie Troops, Warming Hut for XC skiing…FOP field trips…Through it all, you did it with a smile and only once really ever let us down…did it have to be high in the Siskiyous?

Your bones are tired, your heart is weak (too much volcanic dust)…you no longer desire to run or venture far. You have earned your leave.

We bid you a fond farewell, with a tear in the eye and a hearty thanks for the safe, comfortable, fun packed years.

Good dog. Good dog.
