Toby

As most of you know, we lost our little Toby to cancer on May 9th.  Even though we only had him for 18 months and 8 days he left a big puppy print on our hearts. But in the end he went out on his own terms.  We knew that he couldn’t be saved and he had been in constant pain since his surgery.  So we took him to the vet to see if there was anything they could do for him and the vet indicated that based on his observations the cancer had likely spread to Toby’s brain.  We had just learned the day before that he had cancer. So while we prepared to put Toby to sleep, as I was holding him, he looked up at me and then Barbara and passed away.   As I said, he went on his own terms.  Below I have posted some of my favorite photos of our little boy.
