A farewell post to a good dog.
As is the way of all things, Baggins my Basset Hound has left this mortal coil. He lived many good years North of Boston in Marblehead and Danvers, MA.
He took many trips around the Northeast charming hearts wherever he went. Many times he went to sea and made the journey to Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard. He took trips north and went up to Jackson, NH where he encountered a Bull in the pasture and I thought that might have been the end of him right there.
During that same trip Baggins watched puzzled as I and some friends carried an old Golden Retriever off the mountain on a makeshift stretcher. Of course once we reached the bottom, the Golden got up and walked back to his car.
Baggins knew he was faking it.
He was a good dog, and with a heavy heart I say Goodbye.
Please feel free to leave your own remembrances as comments. Keeping in mind my sister would like to read them as well.
