The Ghost of Howard

Hey everybody!
Today is a very special day at Frisbee Etc. As most of you know, my url is gorstofhoward... Well it is just a play on words for the ghost of Howard. Today marks the first aniversary of when Howard died of respitory failure.
For those of you that do not know, Howard was my Dog (a Chihuahua) and my childhood friend since I was 7 years old. He was a little ankle-bitter that everybody loved for some reason. I have never been able to figure it out why every one was so taken by him.
Every visit to our house by... say the Tamms the Stickneys the Cookseys etc. always resulted in some conversation revolving around the dog. He always found some act that would draw the attention of the whole party.
Today I want to put Howard in the spotlite one last time in this tribute to my friend and dog Howard (pardon me if I begin to cry half way through).
He was our little play toy and he was our comedy relief Howard, for 12 years, went everywhere with us; on vacation to the beach, in the mountains and anywhere we were. (he would never eat or sleep if we were away)
He was the funneist dog I ever did see. He had his favorite toy: Bear Bear (I didn't come up with the name). After going through many a toy (see picture) Howard finally stuck with this large white bear. This bear was nearly as big as he was and he always played a modified game of fetch that he never tired of the game.
Well through a fluke of thechnology, we seem to have duplicated some pictures on this post, so DEAL WITH IT!!! *ahem* this will now begin our picture montage of things family and friend with howard or, visa versa.

Heres to you, Howard!

Sorry that I didn't have any photos of Howard with a Frisbee! (I always knew that he was a worthless dog in the first place.)
