It's been a year since my good old Grover died (3/17/2014). At the time the only epitaph I had for him was "Golden dogs and bitches must, as homeless mongrels, come to dust." (Grover was a "fawn" or "buff" color, thus somewhat golden).

The inspiration source is from Shakespeare's Cymbaline, beginning "fear no more the heat of the sun".. Grover was pretty much fearless, but all dogs dislike heat, Bouviers especially so..
