Bye Cody Bear

Yesterday we had to put our big, sweet bear of a dog, Cody, to sleep. We found out a few months ago that he had cancer, but he had been having pretty intensive treatment to keep it from spreading. I took him in for another round of shots on Monday and his vet was very optimistic and suprised at how well he was doing. We took him home and he was doing great, but then got very sick Tuesday night. By Wednesday morning he couldn't walk and I had to carry him inside :(

We knew that it would happen eventually, and said we'd only keep him around if he was healthy and happy and comfortable. The vet knew pretty much immediately that it had spread, and there was nothing we could do. It was so hard to say goodbye to him, but he was an amazing dog and deserved not to suffer. Tiff and I went up to tell him bye, and just layed by him and pet him. He was absolutely the best dog that anyone could have. If I could have cloned him, I would. Don't gt me wrong, I loved my Yoda Monster, but was well aware of the fact that I loved her more than anyone else did, and vice versa :) Everyone loved Cody Bear, and he had just as much love in him to give back. I will miss him so much. Bye sweet boy.
