Not just a dog...

Tobiah Cromwell: October 13, 2003-December 23, 2013


He was a companion...


a master at finding great sleeping spots...





an easy-going fella...


that could go for hours in a car...


put himself to bed...


loved 'laying-out' with Mom...


guardian of his brothers


gentle while playing with little ones...


would wear out after a run...


loved each and every sunrise...




taught Gav that dogs love their brothers...


would lay ON TOP of you...


had a face only a mother could love :)...


Occasionally thought he was a hunting dog...



was at peace while in our arms



bones and sticks were his favorite chew toys...


Will always be an integral part of our family



Running was 'his thing'



the woods were his 'happy place'


he never took them for granted...



Actually 'liked' the water but couldn't swim to save his life...literally






gave lots of kisses that only his daddy really enjoyed :)


loved to play tug-of-war with our shirt sleeves.  Winter time was great for this.



adapted well to whatever environment we put him in...as long as we were there too



realized he really enjoyed  human food after the kids were born


He was a dog in body but a companion in spirit.  He can never be replaced.  Thank you T-money, taquito, Tobster, T, and all of the other countless nicknames you inherited over the years.  You truly changed our lives for the better and you will forever be missed (even your fish breath)!
