It has been very hard for me to even think about preparing this post. I want those of you who did not know Snoopy when he was a pup and well to get to know him from the beginning. He hasn't always had seizures - I think the first one was when he was about 2/1/2. Anyway....

In September of 2002, Amy (my daughter, Cincy's mom) called and told me that she had seen the cutest puppy at a rescue group when she was at a pet store where she lives in Toledo. He was a Dalmation mix. Since both Amy and I both love Dalmations, I had to get on Petfinder and see him. I called to see if he was still available and he was largely because he wasn't a little puppy any more but about 6 months old. To make a long story short, we went over to "see" him and the rest is history. I can still remember our ride home - Snoopy was a very hyper dog so I set in the back seat with him and he just laid at my side. Snoopy was our 4th dog and when I told my parents, I told my dad I had gotten Taggert a "toy" and showed him a picture of Snoops. He looked at me like I was nuts but it was the best thing I did for the both of them. They were buds from the get go. We finally found a way to wear Taggert out. But we had a new problem - who was going to wear Snoopy out???


Here are some of our first pictures of Snoopy



Here is Staci meeting him for the first time at the Findlay Dog Park - and the beginning of his picnic table top favorite spot.

He was so darn cute
