Simon Peter Reichert, today you walked into my heart too. I realize you had a long and very happy life, but I am crying for the loss of you and the loss of all loved pets. There are those here among us whose pain is fresh and some whose pain is part of their lives for a longer time. Simon Peter Reichert, I just want your Mommy to know I feel her pain today.

But today you are honored as Dog of the Day and in that honor I hope your Mom and the rest of your family will remember all the joy you brought to their lives, all the companionship you shared with them, and all the blessings and lessons learned from living life with the bestest ever Simon Peter Reichert
