There aren’t numbers high enough to count the ways.
You were a perfect boy – smart, funny, sensitive, loyal and full of enthusiasm.
Your spirit was always bright, but your body failed you. I did my best, and I didn’t want to fail you too. So when your legs stopped working, when your arthritis became too much; when your earthly trappings became too painful, I had to let you go.
The first photo of you
And the last
And so many wonderful memories in between.
I will love you and miss you forever, my sweet Dexter “Long-stride” Morgan. Take my love with you, and share it with your brothers and sisters who left before you.
Dexter

💔
Amy says
I too remember baby Dexter… So sorry.

We share your grief. You won’t be bearing it alone. These angel dogs…..they leave such a void.
Barbara says
I’m so sorry. You were such a good mom to him – he was loved and cared for all of his life. Hugs. 💔
Beth Griffin says
Aww, so sorry. He always reminded me of my Maddie( they were the same age and with similar facial markings). I’ve enjoyed following him through the years with your blogs and pictures.
Robin Layton says
I am so so sorry. Run free Dexter.
Melanie says
I’m so truly sorry for your loss. I’ve been following your blog for a long time and I remember very well when you first added Dexter to your clan. Sixteen years is a great, long life, but can never be long enough. You gave him a wonderful life, and anyone could see how much you loved him, and I’m sure he knew it too. ❤️💔
Kate says
I’m so sorry. I too have followed your adventures and laughed and cried with your pack. Always in my heart. Rip Dexter. Where did the years go?
Kim Spencer says
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Though it feels like our loss too, from following his arrival as puppy.
You gave him a wonderful life full of so much love
Oh Dexter, you are so missed. 💔
Janet says
So very sorry. It never gets any easier, I’ve been following you from the Tweed days. Hugs
Sheryl says
I am so sorry.
He has been a lucky dog, though, because he has had a wonderful life with you and he has been dearly loved, always.
