As I write this, I await my brother to pick me up to take Tobey to the vet. I awoke yesterday with a painful heart, knowing it was time to help Tobey let go.

My nephew and Tobey, Stanley Park, 2014.

I said goodbye to my sweet Tobey at 5:45 PM. So much love and gratitude for my companion.

Tobey with my father, October 2012, shortly before my father passed away.

Recall: Can a dog live forever? In this case, yes.

Tobey by my street wall, Downtown Eastside, 2012.

Tobey loving to run at the field at Keith Lynn Alternative Secondary, 2011.

Tobey guarding his master, as we await Hollyburn Funeral Services to move my father’s body, October 25, 2012.

My “life-partner.” Always present. My buddy. My comfort.

Getting shampooed- again…

Tobey would always come along- and I’d look to my right while driving and see this face.

Deep Cove.

Tobey was my father’s dog initially. He’d always be with my Dad and I at the Lion’s Gate Hospital cafeteria.

Remembering him digging in the garden at Evergreen House as Dad and I worked on our book.

Tobey this morning. December 23, 2015.

I love you, Tobey
