Is that not just the most awesome looking dog ever? Well, I know not but still, gonna miss the big guy. Mom needed help making that her desktop yesterday so I wanted to post it..pics a couple years old but he looked like that up until I'd say a few months ago when things started going downhill.

Several weeks ago he started limping worse on his front left..then stopped walking on it altogether, we had to use beach towels as hoists to help him move around when he needed outside. Finally mom noticed a hole on his left foot, hoping it was just an infection..turned out to be cancer started in his left front and spread, after finding that out it was an easy decision to put him to sleep, sucked even more to see him lying there all day barely able to move, knowing he was suffering..but, just as always, he had the look of determination on his face.

I didn't get to go when they put him down..I lifted him into the Envoy and said goodbye, then I had physical therapy of my own to get to..it hasn't been as hard as I had imagined..but fuck, I grew up with that dog always around, and suddenly he's not, it blows.

So this is my mere memorial to him, best friend indeed.
