Pete came into my life in the spring of 1989, and for 15 years he was my baby boy up until the end. You see, he had cancer and was in a lot of pain.

This is Pongo James Tackett. He was born in the summer of 1990 and we lost him February 28, 2008. His kidneys had pretty much failed. He had arthritis, a hard time walking and getting around. He threw up undigested food. His hearing was practically gone, and in a mere two weeks he had lost an awful lot of weight, so we're pretty sure he had cancer.

Patton, a beautiful Rottweiler, was found almost dead on the side of the road by a man who is a foster father to many abandoned and abused animals in Jasper, Arkansas.  At first he looked at Jeff (the man who stopped to pick him up) as though he wanted to die, but then he started fighting for his life.  

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of our beloved companion and family member, Duke.

Duke was born in January 1994 in Summit County, Utah and passed away peacefully on June 24, 2008 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Duke was five months old when he came to our family from a shopping cart at PetSmart. It was love at first sight.

Buddy took the journey to Rainbow Bridge about a month ago when he suffered a massive heart attack.  He'd been happy, playful and active up to that point, and for that I'm grateful.
