Death of a beloved family pet

Our Shadow was put down last Friday (5/8). It was a difficult day for him and by the time we got to the vet it was pretty obvious that it was just time to let him go, even though it took me a little while to accept it. It was heartbreaking to see him trying to beg for treats and attention all the while knowing that he was in his last moments. He left us with wonderful memories and big shoes to fill for our next dog.

The vet had two molds made of his paw prints for us. They are ready today and I will be going to pick them up shortly. I also made a bookmark obituary for him that I am going to have laminated and will surprise the kids with these later today.

Here's some pictures to remember him:

His camping trip with us to Apple River just last summer:

His last hair cut:

Zachary loved taking pictures of him just because:

Here's the obituary on his bookmark. I can't get all the pictures to show up and can't upload them here because they are not all on this computer.

Wiseman’s Toy Shadow

8/15/95 – 5/8/09

Shadow was a good boy and lived a long, happy life.

He was our first “baby”, our first responsibility as adults. He saw us go through life changes - the Marine Corps, babies, and multiple moves.

He will be remembered for his playful spirit, begging for food, and always trying to be a puppy!

Shadow wasn’t just our pet; he was a member of our family.

He will be missed!
