Viper




This Christmas was hard with out our "Big Guy"
It made us grateful for the things in life we do have. Loosing Viper was one of the most difficult things for us this year. We couldn't have asked for a better dog for the six years he was with us. He truly was the best friend any one could ask for. I am thankful we got the opportunity to have him with us for as long as we did.

Bryce and I bought him when we were still in high school. I still don't know how our parents put up with us. We just knew. We knew we would be together. So we bought a dog. He has brought so much joy to our lives. Just three Christmas ago {our first Christmas married} he knocked our tree down and opened all our presents! We had left him in the house and came home to the tree tipped over and wrapping paper everywhere. We were mad at the time but this Christmas with out him, I wouldn't change that memory for the life of me.

You will be missed big fella

What happened to Viper? Last post on your blog was about his surgery to remove a piece of bone I thought. Was it worse than they thought?

Hey lisa! And thank you for following my blog! Its so fun to keep in touch. He went camping and got the infection and a week after that started acting really sick and moppy so we took him to the vet who sent us to a specialist and basically said there is nothing you can do. It wasn't from the bone shard he was diagnosed with a heart condititon. They gave him 8-10 months to live but he went down hill so quick and passed away on Dec 21st. So sad...He was very loved. But he died peacefully in his sleep, and had a good life.

We will miss Viper. I did not know he was gone until last night. So sorry for your loss.

We love those 4 legged, trouble makers don't we?!
