Tonka 12/10/2007 - 12/31/2008


For those who don't know, we made the absolute hardest decision, and have put Tonka down on 12/31/2008.
When he went it on Dec 4th for surgery, he weighed 115 lbs, and when Travis took him in Wednesday, he was only 83lbs. He had lost over 30 lbs.
He was obviously in a lot more pain than we even realized.

We took a few pics before we said Good-Bye; at 83lbs he was still a big guy.
He was absolutely a great dog, and Cooper and Tonka were best buds.
We have told Cooper that Tonka went to live somewhere else with a bigger yard - lucky for us Cooper isn't really old enough to know whats going on.

We love you Tonka, and we miss you already!
