It is with a heavy heart that I must share some devastating news with you all...
Last night, Friday, March 02, 2007, our dear friend, Lionel the Lion, passed away. It was a tragic, gruesome death, as all de-stuffings tend to be, but Lionel took it like a man. After all, it was his duty. Lionel continuously sacrificed his life for the sake of our carpet, our furniture.... our home.
Although Lionel took his duties to heart, he still found the time to bring joy to a young puppy. A young puppy who moved away from his family in the quiet country to live in the big city, where he knew no one. Lionel comforted him at this time. The two quickly formed a very close, tight knit bond. Although he will be missed by all, I fear Duke will feel the loss the hardest.
Lionel is proceeded in death by his dear friends, Harry the hibiscus plant, and Barry the baby book. He is survived by friends Duke, Mark, Mandee, Peeka and Boo. A Funeral Service in Memory of Lionel will be held on Monday, March 5, at 1:00 P.M., in the parking lot of Bethel Baptist Church, 3325 49 St SW, Calgary. Interment will follow in the trash can behind the family's home.
Memorial Donations in memory of Lionel can be made to the Mark and Mandee's Bathroom Remodel Foundation at 3131 49th Street SW, Calgary AB, T3E6P8.
Lionel may be gone, but he certainly isn't forgotten -- and never will be.

Lionel the Lion, October 1992 - March 2007
I have included some pictures of Lionel's death below for those of you who many need to see them for closure. Now, it may look like Duke is the one violently ripping out all Lionel's stuffing... but Duke has assured me he arrived at the scene of the crime right as the perpetrator was making his escape and that he was merely preforming CPR on Lionel in attempt to revive him. I must warn you all, the pictures are not for those with weak stomaches.
