"Your pet may be gone from your life, but never from your heart."
B Pulsifer


Sad day for me... my last childhood puppy passed away. He was born at our house (we owned his mother) and he was the one puppy we kept of the litter. Bruiser, formally known and Dick the Bruiser, named after Dick Butkus for all you Bears fans, because he used to plow over the rest of the puppies when it was time to eat.

He was very smart boy and learned many tricks. He was also a good playmate as a kid and he used to chase me in circles around the island in the kitchen. Bruiser, I am so happy you are finally not in pain, but you are dearly missed. My little puppy has gone home.

I had many pets growing up including 4 dogs, numerous barn cats, and 5 horses. Losing a pet never gets easy, especially when you have raised them since birth. Today was especially sad because Bruiser was the last of the dogs we had when I was a kid. I have so many fond memories of him. I hope he is now in a better place where the fields are endless and the pillows to sleep on are grand.
