Smokey the Wonder Dog, RIP

After 14 years of enthusiastic living, our longhaired miniature dachshund Smokey passed on to the great puppy farm in the sky last night.

From the Acknowledgments section of Informal Learning: Rediscovering the Natural Pathways That Inspire Innovation and Performance, “Special recognition is due to… Smokey the Wonderdog, who was always cheerful, got me up mornings, never doubted that I would pull this off, and was a constant source of inspiration.”

Smokey appeared on the first slide of most of my presentations from 2004 to 2007.

I am very sorry for your loss. Having two dogs of my own and having lost a very special one a number of years ago, I know how difficult this was for me, and may in fact be for you as well. Remember the good times, all 14 years of them.

I am very sorry for your loss. I lost my dog last year. I still remember the time she was with us.

My condolences for you loss. We have a 16 year old Shih Tzu settling into the autmumn of his life and are bracing for the day when we have to let him go. We too think on the good times we have with him every day and in the past.
