he was a gentle and loving soul. he never complained or demanded. he was loving and so quiet. he was nothing like the dogs we have now. i find them hyper and demanding of attention. Gizmo loved to come up to where you were sitting and place his belly against your foot in expectation of a belly rub, especially if he saw you with your legs crossed, a foot dangling meant "self serve belly rubs" and he scared more than one guest who thought him lifting a leg against their foot meant he was going to pee, but he was just getting into position for a good foot rub.

He left a hole in my heart so i gave him a hole in my yard. we decorated it lovingly with precious things. It still makes me sad to not be able to recapture his younger years once more...
