Goodbye Hobbs! We miss you!

On July 25, Noah's dog Hobbs was put to sleep. I am doing this from memory, so my apologies if I get anything wrong. When Noah was about 13(?) he got Hobbs for Christmas. Well, I think that he got a video camera, which broke, and so they returned it and then he used that money to buy Hobbs. He was named Hobbs after the comic strip Calvin and Hobbs (hence the comic strip). Although Hobbs has lived with Noah's parents for the last 9 years while Noah has been at school and on a LDS mission, Hobbs has always had a special love for Noah. When we moved in with Noah's parent in May of 2007, Grams and Yampa said that Levi brought new life to Hobbs. Levi LOVED him playing with Hobbs. He would step on him all the time, and every night Levi would feed Hobbs his cheese, which was how he took his medicine. The week that Hobbs went to Heaven Noah's parent and sister slept on the couch by HObbs because he wouldn't move. Then the next night Noah and Levi went to say good-bye to Hobbs. They were able to take him for one last walk and when they told Levi to say good-bye to Hobbs Levi said, "bye Hobbs" with a smile. I don't know that Levi realizes what death is, but he is still telling us a few weeks later that Hobbs died. So goodbye Hobbs we sure love you!
