Merry Christmas

Pog and I wish everyone a joyful day spent with family and friends.

 Be safe, be kind and be thankful! 

Merry Christmas  from Shuttle Hook and Needle!

We miss you Monica.

Sadness

With great sadness, yesterday evening, we decided to let our big girl Monica go.

She was part Malamute and as Pog would say laughingly, part Black Angus.

We were blessed to have her for 17 ½ years.

No one has had as loving and gentle of a big dog as we had in Monica.

She had become completely deaf, was losing her eyesight, had lost 20 pounds

 and was in kidney failure.

 About a week ago we had a visiting black bear and she was terrified.   

We kept her in the basement on her pile of rugs at night but I think it was just too much for her. After a bad week we decided that it was time to let her go and not suffer anymore.

We will miss you so much BBD (Big Black Dog).

Tell Chester and Kit hello for us.

I know that you three are running free and playing together now with no pain or suffering.

Love Mom and Pog
