Goodbye, Gavin (The Gastineau Outlaw): 2008 to 2021 “Rest In Peace”

His life with us began as a puppy and would go on to include…

…Chasing squirrels in the woods,

…Herding waves on the beach,

…Running on the wetlands as jet airlines approach the airport,

…Barking at the UPS delivery van,

…Escorting neighbors as they walked on the sidewalk,

…Gaining some success in kennel club obedience trials,

…Hiking on muddy or icy trails without complaint,

…Walking on sidewalks when his humans wanted exercise,

…Giving kisses (also know as “smackers”) whenever he was asked,

…Continuing to try and never giving up,

And

…Being an inspiration to and old guy like me on how to age.

After Thirteen Years of being a Good Dog as a member of our family, today we said Goodbye. “Rest In Peace”

  5. This breaks my heart! I am so sorry to read about your Gavin. Our pets are our family and when they cross over the rainbow bridge they leave a void in our lives. I pray that you look back on all of those wonderful memories with him and smile. My thoughts are with you and your family….
