How can I possibly summarize the joy and unconditional love my precious Noah has brought me and my family over the past near 13 years? Let’s begin here…..Noah Archimedes entered this world on April 29, 2002 as one of 9 puppies. I met him when he was just 2 days old as he literally fit in the palm of my hand. I knew at that time he’d be fur-ever mine. Over the next few months we bonded over learning tricks, obedience and treats….lots and lots of treats. Soon after my now husband entered our lives. Noah was skeptical at first but quickly accepted Tim as his own. Nearly one year after meeting Tim, we adopted our second companion, Ilsa. Over the years Noah and Ilsa were inseparable. They were the best of friends and always had a way of looking out for each other. In March of 2007, we were able to introduce Noah and Ilsa to their newest human companion when our son, Michael was born. Noah, again was skeptical, but soon began to love Michael as another companion. Over the years, Noah was always there….at my heels, by my side and ALWAYS greeting me with a tail wagging hello. Anyone who knew Noah, knew he loved 2 things: food and barking. As time grew on, we adopted, yet another fur buddy, Roamin’. Noah was tolerant of this new friend, but you could always tell he wasn’t as accepting in his older years. This past year, Noah battled cancer and required multiple surgeries for tumor removal. With each surgery the cancer would grow back. With each day that passed we knew our time with him was growing shorter and shorter. On April 11, 2015, just a few weeks shy of his 13th birthday, we tearfully said our last goodbyes and Noah gained his angel wings. My sweet “Old Man”……If love were enough, you would have lived forever…….
Rest in Peace
