Rest in Peace, sweet boy. We know you stayed with your momma as long as you could, and that she is sad right now. But please watch over her from your spot at the Rainbow Bridge, where you are a young and healthy dog again.

You were a handsome boy who stole Val's heart, and so gracious in welcomeing Doogie into the family. You have left pawprints on the hearts of many people that never even met you in person, you were loved by us all.

Play nice at the Rainbow Bridge, dear boy, and let your mom know that her decision was right, and you are forever pain-free.
