As many of you know, we lost Sequoia (see left...our red dog...originally Curtis' dog) back in January. It happened pretty suddenly so we were and still are terribly shaken by her passing. Cancer took her to her final resting place. She stopped eating and we finally had to make a difficult decision. When the doctors opened her up to see if they could remove the mass, it was too large and too out of control. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye that day. It has been one of the hardest things Curtis or I ever experienced. We have lost family members and dogs in the past but nothing could prepare us enough to say goodbye to her. We thought she would out live the Springers considering she never had any problems (except the occasional dog fight). We miss her terribly but know she is resting in a beautiful place waiting for the other furrry boys and us (someday) to join her. Luckily she still comes and visits me in my dreams and we play for hours.
