Over the years I tried to put my dog Jonley
into the pic
of the week whenever possible.
Here is a collection of photo's I've taken. The only ski run he would not run down was under the dino chair. For some reason, it just freaked him out...... |

Saturday, September 23 at 6am. I was taking Jonley out for
his normal
morning walk but this day he didn't seem to have the normal bounce in
his
step (he was diagnosed with cancer 2 days prior and was scheduled to go
in for an ultra-sound Monday).
When we returned to the cabin he went to the basement and layed down, acting very tired. It was the last time he went on a walk..... 2hrs later I carried him up and into our van, then took him back to our home where he rested for many hrs, but was getting worse.. He passed away at 10pm that night. Jan 15, 1998 - Sept 23, 2006 |
