We received Simon in July of 2009 and he was diagnosed with epilepsy August of 2010. One evening in July of 2011 due to a series of prolonged seizures, unexpectedly died in his father’s arms. Devastated over the loss of this loving, loyal, trusting, childlike, clumsy, gentle creature. we will never forget that he was a mama's boy, always in the shadow of his mama's step. We will always remember how he could clear out a room when he had a case of the winds and would look up at you clueless. We will always remember that he loved his toys and when asked, "Simon, where's your ball," he would jump up running around looking for his ball only to bring it to you, laying it in your lap and looking at you with anticipation. We will always remember his big WOOF, alerting us to any unknown sound. We will always remember this big ol’ lug, lying on his couch with his head on his sister’s rear end taking his afternoon nap. We will never forget his child like antics of galloping through the house, twisting and turning, jumping up and down and gently biting his sisters stub of a tail only to watch them play that would bring a smiles and laughter into our home.

This gift was given to us to watch over only to give only to give back so much joy and love, looking at us with his trusting eyes and his gentle touch. We write this with heavy hearts and a home that seems not the same without him. We truly miss our big boy and will never forget him. He will always be our hearts.
