| 12/19/1990 - 01/30/07 My dog Cleric. I had Cleric for my first 15 years spent in L.A. She was the greatest companion. She had a great long life, but finally her body just started failing her. I didn't want her to be in anymore pain, so I took her into the vet where I held her as they assisted her on to her next journey. She went very peacefully in my arms. All dogs go heaven they say. I hope that's true. She is greatly missed. |
