In loving memory of Lincoln Paro, who passed at 10 yrs 9 months from an aggressive form of Histiocytic Sarcoma and the memories of all of our goldens who have been taken by one of the 5 horrible cancers that are too prevalent in this breed.

Lincoln was an angel on earth, lover of a good broken in tennis ball, rolling in the grass, salmon, ikea puppy, and swimming in a pool with his green toy. He had the biggest softest ears and the most soulful eyes. He was and is endlessly loved and missed.

He taught us everything we know about unconditional love and the importance of living in the moment and enjoying the little things.

While no amount of time could ever be enough, we got 3,923 beautiful days with him on this earth. We would give anything for just one more.
