Rest in Peace, Salt

Salt was guesstimated to be a little over the age of 2. We also believe he is a mix between poodle and Schnauzer (schnoodle). Because of him and his fury friend, whom we dubbed Pepper, a salt and pepper colored Schnauzer that somehow found her way tagging behind Salt when he wanted to get into trouble, we developed a love for Schnauzers.  He came to my mother and my siblings from the next door neighbors, who demonstrated they were not capable of caring for him, indicated by numerous events over a period of time. Eventually through prayer and persuasion, my mother was able to get him from them for good.

He was not with us a very long time but nonetheless he has left us with many memories. He changed our lives in ways that I think none of us could have imagined. He was a very playful pup, loved to get into things he need not get into and was very protective of us all. He was humble with a mix of Nepolean complex. I bet he is in a special place right now and I have a sneaking suspicion he is still with us, even if we cannot see him. This happened so unexpectedly and we are all grieving. The circumstances under which he passed were undoubtedly painful to him and although he will be missed, I would rather him be free from suffering that he may have been subject to had he survived. So, I hope that Salt's journeys are to a place with lots of Chik-Fil-A chicken strips and squeaky chew toys that he so adored. We love you Salt.
