Rest in Peace, Hobie

Hobie came into rescue 6 or 7 years ago.... he was found in the San Jose area, roaming the streets. The woman who found him had him neutered and brought him to rescue. "Hobo" was so darned cute, and I wanted to keep him.

But this loving fellow was adopted by Sue and Joe. He brought so much happiness to their lives.... They let me "dogsit" when they went away, and this kept Hobie in my heart for all of these years.

Hobie suffered a sudden decline in health. He was hospitalized for just a few days. And this morning he passed away.

My heart is heavy for his loving owners. Hobie will be missed by many of us here too. He had many dog friends at Wonder Dog.

from "The Once Again Prince" by Irving Townsend, to Sue, Joe & all who have lost a beloved companion...

We who choose to suround ourselves with lives even
more temporay than our own live within a fragile circle,
easily and often breached.

Unable to accept its awful gaps,
we still would live no other way.

We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan.

Rest in Peace, little Hobie....
