Sad News


For those of you who don't know, the above are pictures of our beloved dog Hoss. He is a 13 yr old Siberian Husky, who has been the best and most beautiful dog I have ever known. Rocky has had him since he was 15. Monday we took him to the vet and found out that he has an incurable form of colon cancer, and has a large tumor. The options weren't good, and we have decided that tomorrow we will be returning to the vet one last time to have our dearly loved pet put to sleep. It is been a very sad week here, we were allowed to bring him home to take time to say our goodbyes. It's very hard for us to imagine looking out in the backyard and not seeing him out there, laying on top of his dog house, or hiding from the rain inside it. We will miss him greatly.
Not much else to tell this week other then that, just getting through the week...

Rocky and Jessica--I can't tell you how sorry i am to hear that you are losing your beloved Hoss. I hope you can just focus on what a great life you gave him all these years. I am on my third big black dog, and i know how hard it is to make the decision to put one to sleep. I am sure it's the right thing to do--you don't want him to suffer. We should all be so brave and kind with humans--the world would be a better place. We are thinking about you.
