Waiting at the Rainbow Bridge

Today we put to rest our Tabasco, nearly 13 years.
Officially he was CH Hardwaood Tabasco, a Chesapeake Bay Retreiver. Be bought him as a puppy and he quickly won the hearts of our family. As he grew he began to show his wit, playfulness, and love of people. We showed him, where he quickly accelled, winning Best of Breed at Detroit. He loved to stand among the people, getting to know them as a crowd gather to pet him - and therefor he became a great ambassador for the breed.
He camped with us from the time we brought him home. He loved to travel and stroll with us through the campgrounds and taking hikes. He knew when we were leaving soon as we packed the camper. He enjoyed to swim, hike, and sit by the campfire at night. He slept at our feet, which he only did when camping.
He adored the kids, enjoying playing and swimming with them. He welcomed them home when they return from college even after many weeks gone.
He welcomed in another Chessie into his home, and became best friends. He sired 2 litters and now many families enjoy the sweet & lovable traits that he had.
Recently his health declined and it became difficult to walk due to a nerve disease, then suddenly he became totally immobile and we knew it was time.
He went peacably this morning as we gently caressed him for those last moments with us.
