Saying good-bye to Oliver.

     God gives us love. Something to love
         He lends us; but when love is grown
      To ripeness, that on which it throve
          Falls off, and love is left alone.
                                                              Alfred Tennyson


It was with great sadness we had to say good-bye to Oliver.  He developed a saddle thrombosis causing paralysis of his legs with congestive heart failure.  We always knew he was living on borrowed time.  He was born with congenital heart failure and severe allergies. He wasn't quite 2 years old.  He loved being the center of attention and we called him Oliver the Frolicker. He is sorely missed.
