As those of you who met him know, Riley was one of the most well behaved, emotional, loving, and happy dogs around. He certainly kept our life interesting, and from day one we made memories with him that will last a lifetime. We can look back and smile at all the fun times we had together, and fortunately we have a lot of pictures to show for it. He made us better people, brought us closer together, and taught us that the simplest things in life can make you happy.
It's been a very difficult past few days for us as we learn how to get through the sadness we're constantly feeling and adjust to our quiet home. I heard a song today on the radio that helped me feel a little better, and now has new meaning for me: Sarah Mclachlan's Arms of the Angel. "You're in the arms of an angel, may you find some comfort here." We know Riley is in God's hands, running in the grass, eating food that contains corn, and looks fantastic. Even still, we miss him, love him, and will always wish something could've cured him.
Please pray for Riley and for us as we get through this.
In loving memory of our best friend, and first baby - Riley Taetsch. We will always love you buddy.
