Bye Bob

This is Bob. She's a terrier/poodle mix. I bought her in November 1996 and she was my dog until I got married in September 1998. She became my parents dog after that because I couldn't have pets in the apartment we moved into. Over the past few months, her health has been declining. It was recently discovered that the joints in her knees were deteriorating, so, she walked with a limp. She was able to get around, but you could tell that she was in pain. When the knee problems were discovered, the vet also found that she had a liver condition.

Last night, Bob passed away peacefully in her sleep. She was a good little dog. She wasn't the biggest fan of small kids ☺, but tolerated them just the same. I'll miss seeing her when I go to my parents house, but I'm happy she's no longer in pain. I want to tell my parents I really appreciate them being such good parents to her when I wasn't able to be anymore. I know that they'll miss Bob the most. ♥

I'm sorry about Bob. How did you decide to name her that?

Bob Dog was a character from Mister Rogers Neighborhood who lived in the Neighborhood of Make Believe. I always said if I had a dog, I would name it Bob. Girl or boy.
