I lost my precious friend Mogee on July 7th. zHe was the pick of the litter when we bred our female, Pudge, and; although we never intended to keep one of the pups, we knew we could never part with him. He was as much a part of our family as our four children, and we never went anywhere without him.

We were blessed with his company for 13 1/2 years, and know we will never have another dog as dear. He had many health problems over the years, but the strongest heart. We had to put him to sleep to end his physical pain from arthritis, but I believe in my heart that he would have chosen to live with the pain rather than leave us if we had left it to him.
