Our little boy Beau
We lost our little boy yesterday, had to put him to sleep. He ran head on face first into doggy gate, and injured his brain, he could not walk, eat or drink and everything had shut down.

Larry, the Chinese Crested
Larry, my friend's puppy, died today. I don't know what happened, because she can't talk, yet. He was Ena's "big brother", and the reason that his mom wanted another Chinese Crested. He was a great, little guy. He was... maybe 10 months old. I'm not sure, anymore. It's...
