Hi Guys.... many of you "older" folks will remember me talking about Ollie.... he is my sons Dane....he is the reason that I found this forum so many years ago when it was called I-Dog.... He lived with Mike but Mike lived on the next street and Ollie was at my house all of the time....two young men living together in a town house....working all day....bowling....golfing....God knows what they did to keep them from coming home a lot...so I took care of Ollie a lot...he was my dog. I loved him so much. When I got Bubblegum I would not agree to take her unless I knew that Ollie and her would get along. We went to the dog park the first day Bubby came to my house...it was January and the park was filled with a couple of feet of snow. Ollie and Bubby had a blast getting to know eachother. Then they came to my house and they played some more. I loved him so much...I still do.

Today Ollie was put down....he was 9 years old and very sick. DH was babysitting him a few weeks back and called me to say he put Ollie outside and he didn't want to come back in.....that he was just laying in the grass for hours. Ollie NEVER did that. He said he hadn't eaten for him or anything. So I went there with dog bisquits and drove thru McDonalds to get him a burger or two. He didn't look well at all but did eat his burgers. Mike took him to the vet the next day...they put him on antibiotics which made Ollie so very sick. Since then he hasn't eaten hardly at all... Mike said his eyes were sunken and he no longer got up out of his bed to greet him when he came home. He was down to 102# from probably about 135. He was my baby boy......I feel so bad but I know he is at peace.

Here is a couple of pictures of him.... the baby picture that was taken a day or two after Mike brought him home.... a picture of him with Bubblegum and then the last time he was over my house last summer...I baby sat him and Gibby and him made me a wreck....and tired me out big time. I wish he was here to tire me out again.

Oh, Dyan, I'm so sorry. But, part of me smiles when I think of Ollie and Bubby together again--like in that picture you posted.

Willow sends a purple kiss too.
