Barkley

One year ago, this week, our family of seven became six. We lost our handsome boy Barks last year to cancer and our family just hasn't been the same. Barks was a super busy, lovable pup, with big ears and a handsome face, who loved to bug his brother Winston and get into mischief! In his short 9 year lifespan he cost us thousands of dollars in property damage. Shoes, leather coats, toys, my dad's hearing aides and eventually $200 cash from a money clip! Life was never dull around our house, and if it was, it meant Barks was up to no good!

There is a wonderful children's picture book titled, "Six Is So Much Less Than Seven", it tells how all the everyday things are so much easier with six rather than seven. Like sweeping the floor is less stress with six, dinner time is so much easier with six, a walk to the park is so much smoother with six. But at the end of the day, when you look at your family and there is someone missing... Six Is So Much Less Than Seven.
