my sweet, sweet, baby boy...

last week hunter gave us a little scare...he appears to have had a mini-stroke...there came a point where we thought for sure he wasn't gonna make it through the night...but he has rebounded to what we would call a full recovery for a 12 1/2 year old dog...

i wouldn't say he'll be running the sleds, but his eyes are back to "little old man" status...he has always had a very expressive, sweet, sorrowful old soul to him..a furrow of the brow, a wag of the tail and a nudge of your hand for a pat on the head...

which is good news for his number one fan...not sure how any of us will deal with it when his time is really here...
this is from back in the day when he used to volunteer at the akron children's hospital...not a flattering picture, his hair was too recently cut, but he was all primped to go lay on some beds with some kids so we liked him short and clean!he truly is an exceptional dog and i love him more than words...

  1. I am so glad to hear he is doing better. It is not easy - they are family. The pictures with Palmer pull at the heart strings and I hope he there a few more good years.

    Hey, I got your comment about the Free Canvas, you just click on the red "create your canvas" button and then it will let you select your size and it says "free" right next to the 8 x 10 one.

  3. You should click on the red button and then it says select the size and a pop up comes up and asks if you want to upgrade to a 11 x 14 size for $6.99. Is it doing that for you?
