It's been about a year since I lost by dog brother Whitey.

As he lay slowly dying of cancer I layed down with him one last time to say goodbye before my parent's took him to the vet.


He looked me in the eye and made his sly smile, I'll never forget the look in his eye.

He still had that mischievous twinkle just like when he was a pup but he knew it was the end of the trail.


Damnit now I'm crying thinking back on it.


You got that new dog Sam.
Gotta raise up your heart somewhat.
It was meant to be when he showed up.
What is his name? I have forgot.



They do somethings that mean I will see you on the other side for sure.
Mannerism,s and looks, little moments in time.

Cookie and Rico tore me up.
Cookie basically told me to let me go dad.
The night before I put him to sleep.
I seen a rabbit on a neighbors lawn .
Walked Cookie in the direction.
He seen it, got up to a trot, head down
Got about 10 ft from it before it bolted.
He barked at it 4 or 5 times .
Tail wagging, eyes full of life gave me a couple of kisses.
Showered praise on him.
That morning I could tell he was saying his goodbyes and see ya later dads too me.
Kisses and leaning on me.
Giving me long looks.


Rico was sandbagging his cancer for me and Cookies sake .
What Rico did hiding his condition until after Cookie died blew me away.
IMO he sacrificed himself for his human and his Alpha he looked up too and took care of when he took over the alpha role from Cookie
Rico gave me a 2 kisses in the end right before falling asleep from the sedation shot took hold before the final shot 10 mins later.
The last time Rico kissed me prior to that was the last time I came home from Romania in 2015.
He would always give me a kiss going and coming back from their.
Dogs know stuff...

Even my vet was crying about Rico and what he did.
Brave dog.
Selfless dog.


Walk by their graves everynight taking Blackjack out to pee.

Both buried facing the North Star
Talk to em both everynight.

Damm eyes watering now....



Baylor our new dog.
I see alot of Cookie and Rico in him in alot of things he does.

14 month old baby huey blood hound weimarainer ( sp) mix
Smart dog.
Human centric hound full of happy go lucky energy.

Him and Blackjack are getting a flanking system down on squirrels and birds now in the backyard bursting outta the kitchen door going out.
Blackjack is the Alpha for the 1st time in his life.
Baylor worships the ground he walks on.
Blackjack is like Pt Boat sized compared to Baylor the young Battleship . LOL!!!
Wont be long before dumbazz rabbits come thru the chain link after green growth and panic trying to get outta the fence with 2 dogs on their azz.

Gonna be a bunny blood bath in the dog gulag soon
Looking forward to it.
Horrifying days for my neighbors again.
They aint seen bunny bloodbaths since Cookie and Sweetheart days
Rico,s mom was sweetheart, his dad is Blackjack.

Bunny Bloodbath 2021.....

Looking forward to it.
