Our Zack started out as a promising pup but things quickly changed. He was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at a year of age. From there things  got worse, he developed VKH and spent the next five years battling this awful disease. In the beginning the outbreaks were months apart but as time went by they were just weeks apart and Zack just gave up. He spent his life as a pampered house dog, the king of his castle and enjoyed tons of chocolate chip cookies, his favorite! We miss our big boy.

Junior was a sweetheart, he could go anywhere with us and loved everyone. He was our clown! Always having fun and keeping us laughing. Junior developed an infection that quickly spread to his brain. Within days our happy boy was unable to walk or see. How awful for our boy just full of life. We hope there are lots of toys in Heaven for our Junebug to play with.

Baby Coal was a single pup with a strong will to live. He was born early with numerous problems. He was unable to swallow which was caused by PRAA. Our wonderful vet did surgery when he was just 13 days old, it worked. Coal also survived pneumonia caused by aspirating everything we tried to feed him. Next came a telescoping intestine, but he survived. What a strong and happy puppy. 

For the next year Coal lived a normal life, eating everything he wanted, playing with the other dogs and just touching our hearts. He got away with lots of things that were off limits to the others but he was special. One awful morning he bloated. He taught us so much and touched everyone he met. We miss you Cocoa Bean!
