Comet, the Dog of the Day
Name: Comet
Age: Deceased, Eleven years old
Gender: Male Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
 
   Comet was the name of our eleven year old Golden Retriever. He was my best friend for as long as I can remember. Comet is a family dog, he was an integral part of our family over the years.

    Comet brought us closer together and made our family whole. He played with us when we were happy, he comforted us when we're sad, he protected us when we were scared. Through all the years he was an angel, bringing us joy and peace in our lives. Never once did his loyalty falter, or his tail stop wagging. He was the happiness in my laughter; the stars in the sky; the song in the birds. I love him.

    He is, was, and always will be, the best friend I've ever had. We live in Albuquerque, NM with Comet where he enjoyed chasing the rabbits that populate our yard every morning. One of his favorite pastimes was to chase the tennis ball. Comet used to chase the ball for hours, he would never quit. All I can say is thank God for dogs, they are our guardians. If people could be more like dogs, I think the world would be a better place.

    We had to put him to sleep this September, and there is a large void in my life where he used to be. It would be nice if he could be honored one last time.
