Oh, I'm so sorry to read this. I was wxpecting another positive picture update. This is just miserable. For something that is supposed to be rare, there seem to have been a couple of dogs who've had it fo to their spine and or leg.....so it must seems like, even thoughit's rare, it' happening.

Ayway Dan, I'm just so very, very sorry. The amputation definitely got you some quality time.....rime for more spoiling and loving thatn any dog could ever hope for.

IF it had to happen, Townes was being Townes right up to the end. And he was certainly surrounded by love that will always be with him.....and his love for you will always be with you.

NOTHING took away his spirit and NOTHING took away his joy in living. M goodness-----climbing stairs just a little bit ago!! Seemngly still getting better in every other way and just proving that othi g was going to stop him!

Darn' I'm must so very, very' very sorry. We all understand your devotion, love and your selfless gift you were able to give when needed most?

You will be grievig forever, but, eventually, the happy memoties that you and Townes....and Karen....created together will co e shining tnrough. Towne's brilliant light can NEVER be dimmed!

I rmeber one of your earlier videos where he was takig off like a rocket down a fence line and i to field....you were having trouble keeping up!! You could almost near Townes giggle as you were chasing him. What a fun boy!

Townes will always be with you and e would want you to think about nothing bt the good times. Can you let one of those good memories come to you now?
Is it the way he would beg for a treat? Oe the way he wiggled with joy everytime you came home after being gone five minutes?? Hold on to those happy times....that makes Townes happy.

Stay connected with us Dan. We are here for you. You are in our hearts.
