On Sunday, 12/18/11, a group of us hiked to the top of Mt. Woodson to honor the life of a true canine legend, Sage. Sage was more of a human than anything else. Her ability to connect with all people, all dogs, all cats--virtually every living thing, was one of the many traits that made her so amazingly special. Mt. Woodson is a wonderful place where Sage and I would go and spend countless hours, just the two of us. I would rock climb, while she explored around--at times gone for over an hour, but always periodically checking on her clumsy dad. There's one specific spot that she especially loved (see pic below), and I always knew that when the unthinkable, yet inevitable day came, I would lay her to rest there. Now her ashes have been returned to the Earth, and anytime we look to the east and see Mt. Woodson peaking above the other surrounding hills (complete with cell-phone towers and all), we can rest assured that we are being watched by Sage--a dog that was wise beyond her years, loved by all, and left an impact on everyone and anything she came in contact with that will never be forgotten. Love and miss you Sagers!
Sage's loved ones... In her prime--taking in the view..
