A very special friend…

This is Albert…

This is the day we said good bye…(he knew…he had too…look at that face…)

Albert was our first baby…I saved him from dying back in December, 2004…we LOVED our little doggy doo and expected to have him around for a long long time…then little Z got sick and the doc said we had to give him away.  Lucky for us, a very good family friend was JUST looking for a dog just like ours, so we said good bye to Albert and sent him to live in San Diego.  By now, he’s lived with his new Daddy & Mommy for longer than he lived with us, but he’s still very special to us.  Last year, Albert got cancer and had to have his leg amputated and learn to walk all over…then they found more cancer and they had give him chemo.  But this little happy dude is STILL happy and he came to visit us at Mimi’s house for a couple of days.  The boys couldn’t wait to get there every day and play with Allllberd.  He was the same sweet little doggy we knew; it’s strange to remember this little guy who would run 5 miles with me on those TINY legs, panting and huffing, but keeping up.

We love you little Albert BooBoo!!!
