I just got a call from my wife, who just spoke with my mom. Mom and dad had to put the old dog down.

We picked him up almost 20 years ago from a friend of my sisters. From day one, he was a spunky strange little animal. He would crawl up on my back and fall asleep.

I taught him to dry hump my sisters stuffed animals. (he really didn't need much teaching on that)

He had surgery twice to relieve pressure from slipped disks in his neck, each time bouncing back faster than the vet said he would.

My daughter Grace would crawl after him (he was a bit faster than her) and try to get his trail.

He was a good little dog, and he will be missed. Take care of him Grandma!

"I taught him to dry hump my sisters stuffed animals. (he really didn't need much teaching on that)"

Sorry to hear WK. I'm sure there's a bookfull of happy memories (and a room full of violated stuffed animals) to make everyone smile. 19 years is a long time!
