Briggs

Today was a hard day.  We put our Briggsy boy down, well K did anyway.  He wanted to do it a few weeks ago but I wasn't ready and then he got busy with work and was finally able to do it.  It had been a little while coming his Pannis (eye disease) was progressing and this last week he really couldn't see anything.  He was also getting more nervous and pacing more.

 Best of all Briggs was the most snuggly cuddle dog ever! He was my pal and followed me everywhere! (Here's were I admit that sometimes that was kind of annoying) but he was so great at the door and people were always intimidated by our big chicken dog.  We adopted Briggs from an LA German Shepherd rescue and we drove from LA to Salt Lake with Kayla hogging the whole entire back seat of out Kia and Briggs whining in my ear to save him from his dreaded big sister! Whom he grew to love barking at whenever we played fetch. He was a chicken dog though and hated loud noises.  When we used to cook on our old gas range he would go upstairs into our bathroom and get in the tub. Click Click Click! Bunker down!!!

 Love this expression...the infamous german shepherd head turn...Huh? Whadda ya say dad?

 Before we had kids we would take the dogs out to to no where's ville (in the above pic) and let them run behind the truck! He never had much stamina and would be the first one to be ready to ride in the back. Jog jog jiggety jog...wait for me! (Never fast and there was no one around so it really let them stretch their legs!)

Hey Handsome boy we will miss you!
