This obituary apparently ran in The Idaho Statesman on 2.10.08. And because the rag, known for its backbone and wide stance, pulled the obit from the web site, I'm posting it here.
Opi Gomez My son closed his eyes Jan. 25, 2008 as his head was in my hand. My dearest son, you came into my life and left your paw prints engraved into my heart and soul. Opi was a true angel that left paw prints on many hearts. He also taught many lessons to people, one being me. He was a unique and fortunate little angel. He had his mommy and daddy and his DOG HOUSE FAMILY. Opi spent his last years in full-time day care, with his momma Linda, Richard and Carley; not only was he cared for, but spoiled rotten to the point they thought they owned him. Opi was an avid traveler, going to Mexico quite often and across the U.S. many times. He loved to dress up and strike a pose for anyone with a camera. They say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death, I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one else could fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane, I'd walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again. We miss you dearly. LOVE MOMMY AND DADDY.

In typical Idaho reactionary fashion, people have written the paper to show their outrage at having a dog sully the sacred spaces of the obituaries.
They're all dead. They don't care.
Sheesh.

To whom posted this THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!! His family, in another country never got to see it online as they pulled it a few hours later. HOW COOL PEOPLE DO CARE!!!!!!!!!!!
Anything I can to do make the Statesman look foolish, I will gladly do. And I don't see why people would get upset over the obituary. Animals are loved, too.
