Syntax Workman Kulik Dog January 10, 1992 - March 20, 2009 Syntax passed away in Geoffrey's arms this afternoon after a 12-hour illness. She was preceded in death by her long-time companion Audit who died just two months ago. The vet identified spleen tumors which have been growing for many months; after Audit left the pack Syntax let the disease progress and spread to where it manifested in her brain today. Syntax was a perfect girl. She was our first: the dog that proved we wanted pets. She is survived by 7 children, born 13 years ago. Syntax was the mother of Vector and Array in our pack. We will miss her and will cherish her memory.
