we had to put our camping buddy down 12-23-15


HOUSTON
We had him for 13 years. He loved to camp and go about anywhere. He liked to get on the couch and then get on the kitchen counter top and see what he could find to eat,He had ate a lot, Pizza, bread, anything you forgot he did not. He liked K.K. donuts too. that was a not nice the next day..
His younger sister has been all over us this past weekend. She did not let us out of her sight.
She knew something was up with him, I could tell the way she was around him that last week.
He had congestive heart failure and a cancerous mass the size of a softball. So that harder than not decision was made.
We loved him and we will miss him.
See ya later buddy,
randy

  • I'm so sorry for the loss of your camping buddy, Houston. He was such a cute guy! Thirteen wonderful camping years that he enjoyed with you. I know it's hard as we've had to put down four beloved companions. Everyone is in our hearts as your little Houston will be. Take care.
  • Very sorry for your loss. As stated, it's never easy, no matter what the circumstances.
