we said goodbye to Peanut on Friday (9/19)

He stopped everything (eating, drinking, even standing on his own or walking) early last week.

On Friday we decided he was suffering too much and called the vet.

His "quality of life" evaluation included an ultrasound which revealed cancer that had invaded his liver.

His nearly 16-year life brought us joy.

My guy used to breed these dogs.

Peanut and his partner, Cookie,, parented 35 pups.

Audry and Billy (now 8 years old) remain with us

On the loss of your beloved dog Peanut. Dogs give us their love and loyalty.

There were 4 dogs here.

Of the 4, Peanut was the last to truly accept me.

When he finally did, he showed more love and loyalty than all the others combined.

I cried for weeks just thinking about her. Now, all these years later, what I remember was her unconditional love for us.
