Donna and I picked up Max from a Williamsport breeder. He was a sweet puppy, but when he had x-rays it showed he had bad hips. (a sign of bad breeding) I called the breeder and he said he would refund my money in return for the dog. Of course I said hell no! I loved Max, i was just informing the breeder. Unfortunately, when Max turned 10 his hips gave out. For a year Suzi and I helped him get up and cleaned after him when he could not. I finally asked the vet if she thought he was in pain and she looked at me and said absolutely. So whe had a vet come to the house and he went to sleep in my arms.
Skippy was Dads pup, and he came to live with us after Dad went into assisted living.
Tara (Pantera) was Travis's cat. He brought it home as a tiny kitten when Tarkus was still alive. They were best buddies.
