Toby
September 1, 2003-December 19, 2017
Star of Toby Tuesdays
For 14 years, he brought us joy with his antics, curiosity, affection and affinity for mischief. In his Autumn years, he perfected the art of napping and cuddling. He had a distinctive personality. He had favorites – both in toys and humans. He was a fierce guardian and loyal companion at home and at work, protecting us from delivery and postal workers.
We looked forward to Toby Time – walks to the office and around the block throughout the day, and Trumpet Time – Toby’s duet with me (nuanced howls and barks) whenever I played the trumpet.
He was affectionately known as Toby-Won Kenobi to some and Toby the Terror to others. On our Instagram feed he was our star, always garnering the most likes and comments. He even had his own hashtags: #TobytheTerrier and #TobyTuesdays. It is only fitting that he said goodbye to us on a Tuesday.
