We lost Sailor after over fifteen years as a treasured member of the family and my best friend. He loved walking off leash in Braemar Park and more recently on the beach at Amelia Island, where we now spend the winters. As a young dog, he would never tire of retrieving tennis balls. As he aged, a soak in ocean at low tide was his favorite activity. He went everywhere with us and was a constant presence. We will miss him so.
