Our dog’s name is Beamer Oliver Walling. He’s a beautiful 5-month-old chocolate Lab with golden brown eyes and a coat that shimmers velvet. And as rambunctious as he is, for all of the peep and poop he’s given us, for turning our house upside down, and for leaving us with sleepless nights, we wouldn’t trade away a single moment of these memories, because we know how much we love him for what he is and what he gives to us, as we also know his love for us is more important than any promise tomorrow may hold; he lives to love us, as if today would be his last day in a life.
