We had to say goodbye to Marcus on Saturday. My buddy of 12-1/2 years. Diagnosed with cancer last November, the vet was amazed how long he fought it off.

Dad,

My condolences for Marcus's passing. Never seems to be enough time. Sorry for your loss.

Dan

Sorry to hear that Dad. But it sounds like you gave him a very good life.

He was hanging out with me while I was stripping the car to make a spec boxster.

No matter what door I opened when we were going for a ride, he would jump into the driver’s seat.

Thanks guys. I don’t want to derail, post the happy pics.

Dad,
Not to worry about any of us (at least I think I speak for most here) being put off about your sharing with us. I think quite the contrary.
This place helped so much when Daisy died, it matters to us all.
I hope your grief is quickly replaced with the thousands if not millions of happy Marcus Memories.

Dan

:(

Sorry to hear, Dad. Our sincerest condolences to you and yours......

Sorry to hear about Markus. Hope you are doing ok, Dad.

Looks like a Wheaton Terrier. Best dog I ever had was a Wheaton Terrier mix. Lost her to cancer too.

Saw this cute little Parson Russell terrier today. Very similar to a Jack Russell terrier.

Interesting. We have had a lot of Jack's. The latest, Perry, is a rescue that is 11. We'll look into Parson's.

Ok, pics of Dottie because I don't have grand-kids!

From an hour ago, a little chilly and dreary:

Monkey and buddy are barking through their golden years. He's slowing down considerably but he's still a very good boy

Stuffed dog toys last about 30 to 40 minutes around here. Two border collies in the house.
I may as well just hand them a twenty and let them shred that...
Nice looking pup, Gogar.

Exactly!

No kidding: A face only everybody could love :cool:

Today I learned:

The dogs like me better than food. Spent the night at the hospital, got home at 0630, as my wife was feeding the dogs. She puts beef bouillon on their food, which they like. They both immediately lost interest in breakfast and were all over me. I guess maybe they weren't hungry.

They weren't. Cute story, though.

I think the yellow stuff below is pollen. If not, I'll be in the next Marvel movie with my side kick:

Or, the Yellow Cake has been found!

That is pollen, are there a lot of pine trees nearby?

They were hungry enough to pester the wife for an hour an a half before she fed them, but that is maybe because they get up at 0500 most days.


The younger dog was a little freaked out, first time I did not come home at night since we had him.

Trees will emit pollen to induce local rainfall.
