Caleb the Doberman (January 2007-December 2018) passed away unexpectedly from a heart sarcoma tonight.

Our beloved friend, companion and nemesis completed his three mile walk down Mass this morning after breakfast.

I don’t really have words for what he meant to us. He was a singular character and could be the biggest pain in the ass. He also brought so much joy. He had a zest for life, a love of food, and a loving spirit.

We often said he would live 28 years and spontaneously combust in the living room. Of course, we knew that wouldn’t happen, but it was still a shock.

I don’t often contemplate heaven, but if there is such a place, Caleb will fill it with joy. So, tonight we eat pizza and raise a slice to our friend. We love you and miss you. Please, keep him in your heart. He was really a good boy.
