This past Friday we had to say goodbye to my good friend Joe. When we got him, he was a three-year-old rescue who came with some issues, but also with a massive heart that wanted nothing more than to please. Over the past seven years, I ran him in rally and agility, and he even got a title. But Boxers tend to age more quickly than other breeds, and he had taken a really bad turn in the last week of his life. There’s always going to be a Joe-shaped hole in my life going forward.

My wife made this video for him.

Goodbye Joe. I love you.
