Jafo was My Honey's dog before my time. I never knew Jafo, but I know how much he meant to PJ. I was recently telling a friend about Jafo, and how I wish I could have known him.
When I hear stories about Jafo, I get the impression that for all the wonderful things Jafo was, he was a little bit snarky too. In Jafo's 12 years, he traveled to more places than a lot of humans get to see in their lifetime.
Jafo was a true, inseparable companion and lived a wonderful life. After Jafo passed, his momma put together a photo album for him. I sat down to scan one or two photos and ended up scanning most of them.
I couldn't pick just a few to share, so here's Jafo.
