Black Jack Royal---known to us as Jack---died peacefully in our library this morning, at our feet. He loved all human beings and especially he loved us. We will miss him, but we are grateful this old friend died quickly and without pain. I keep thinking of a quote I read somewhere from the 1700s, from a stone that marked a burial spot: "His name was Jack. He was born a dog and died a gentleman."
Goodbye, Old Jack. Your people will miss you."
Goodbye, Old Jack. Your people will miss you."
