I adpoted Bilbo (yes named after Bilbo Baggins!) from a family who was moving to Texas and thought the trip would be too much for him. He was 10 when he came home with me. I had 2 wonderful years with this handsome guy. When you picked him up, he immediately turned to face you and wrapped his arms around your neck and nuzzled your neck. He was the best! At the end, he had gotten a really bad ear infection that despite 3-4 different antibotics and numerous tests and visits to the white coats, terribly damaged his balance. His right front fang had to be extracted beause it had broken off (you can tell in the photo by his cutie crooked mouth! :) And lastly he could not longer control his bladder and bowels and could hardly get around due to the balance problems. Sadly we had to put him down to relieve his suffering and I had to take off 3 days from work because I was so devistated. Anyway, enough sad stuff, I just wanted to share photo of my sweetie Bilbo with you all. I apologise for the photos I had to scan them. Bilbo have fun at the RB! I can't wait to see you again!
