Rest in peace, Dokken.
You were delightfully whimsical and silly. You were full of love and affection for anyone and everyone whose attention you captured. And you captured attention so effortlessly.
And for what it's worth, you were so incredibly well behaved, passing your Canine Good Citizen exam when you were just one year old.
You brought so much joy to so many peoples' lives. You made such good friends with so many other dogs. Hell, you even made friends with a cat for a few weeks while her human watched you and our house.
As excruciatingly painful as this all is, it warms my heart that you had eleven of our friends come over this past weekend to light a candle for you. And three more friends came by to comfort us and remember you the previous weekend right after you took your last breaths surrounded by our deepest love and gratitude.
I love you. I miss you. I'm so sorry we didn't have more time together but I thank you for more than thirteen years of being nothing short of the perfect dog.
