Sir Elton Dohm

Stella's best buddy, Elton, went to doggy heaven yesterday. He was the sweetest most cuddly dog ever. Most of all though, he made my dear friend, Ann, so happy.

I hope he's enjoying all the comfy couches up there. He is going to be missed SO much.

Since Stella is my first real pet, beyond fish, hamsters and lizards, I never knew what an impact animals can have on our lives until I was an adult. Now that I have Stella keeping me company during deployments, warm and cozy at night (and annoyed earlier than I would like) I don't think I could ever not have her around. My heart is breaking for Ann. I know how much she misses him and wish I could give her a big hug! Love you, buddy.
