Conor, our boxer, passed this morning. He was almost 13 years old. Patient, calm, solid, snuggly. He was my first dog. He was my children’s first dog (they couldn’t have gotten a better one). He never complained about their rough snuggling or attempts to ride him like a pony. Never growled, never nipped. If they got too annoying he would just get up and move. There’s nothing like a big warm dog to make you feel safe when your husband is on the road and you’ve watched too many episodes of Law and Order. I will miss him so very much.

Oh no… I’m so, so sorry. I hope you guys (and especially Halim) are doing ok. Poor Conor.
