On Thursday, January 19, 2006, we gave our beloved dog, Tinker, back to God. She fought the cancerous tumor on her hip valiantly. Suddenly, Wednesday evening, she was unable to use her back legs. Her breathing was beginning to sound rough. It appeared to be more confusing than painful for her, but we knew that would come soon.
Although the decision was simple, it was the hardest choice. We took Tinker to the vet Thursday morning and, surrounded by people who loved her, her favorite blanket and stuffed bunny, this magnificent animal left for the next journey. We miss her – and always will. She was a loyal, loving companion. We know she is still here with us in spirit.
Tinker – Morning of 1/19/06
