Last week our dog Red had his last day at the age of 15. We have had him since he was 8 months old after getting him from the Humane society in Boise Idaho in July 2004. He has been through many adventures with our family.
- He was part of 8 moves to different houses including 2 new builds
- He has been with us living in two states as well as an overseas assignment in Wales, UK
- He was around for all 4 of our children's births and has been a major influence on their love of animals due to his gentle spirit
- He was my climbing buddy to many of Idaho's tallest peaks including a number over 12,000 ft and we continued this with many high regions of Oregon. I can't count the number of nights he slept with me in the back of my pickup truck.
- He swam in every bit of water he could find, no matter what the temperatures
- He never once bit or even so much as growled through years of kids sitting on him, pulling his ears and tails
It was a beautiful day and he had one last time to be in his favorite spot - the water.
Here is a video collage of his life with us starting from his very first day through to his last. We will miss you Red dog.
