Amos was our dog from another planet. He passed away yesterday of old age. He was a good dog, patient with the kids and puppies, part time herd guardian, and barked his fool head off at the meter reader. Being from an alien world he had no concept of physics and frequently tried to occupy the same space as other objects. If he ever got out the front, he would take off on long adventures that usually had him barking outside our window at 4am. We imagined he was trying to summon the mother ship to ferry him back to his home world. Maybe he's there now.

Rest well, sweet boy. We'll miss you.
