Meant to Be - A Gator tale

After the loss of our beloved eight year-old Labrador retriever Gator, my husband and I were devastated. Only pet lovers can understand the feelings of loss and sadness when you lose a pet who is a member of your family.

We lost Gator on my husband's birthday. John adored Gator just as much as I and we took his passing very hard. The day after our loss, John and I went for a ride, we cried, and spoke of all our beautiful memories.
