Wyatt July 1998 to March 19,2008

Yesterday was a very sad day in our home. We had to have our dog Wyatt put to sleep. He had a mass somewhere around or in his stomach that made it so he could not eat much, and would not keep it down. I will be lonesome without him, he went with me about everywhere. We walked him everyday, 4 mile loop. He loved to go on his walks, and in good weather, we would go twice.
Wyatt was a very smart dog. He knew to lay on his back to get his feet wiped off if they were muddy. He would sass me all the time I was cleaning them off, but knew it had to be done. If his feet and legs were covered with snow, he knew to go to the bathtub to get them rinsed off. When I gave him haircuts, I put a sheet on our King size bed, and he got up there and snoozed while I clipped away, and then in to the tub for a shampoo he would go.
He loved to herd the kitties, didn't really want them on my lap. But to no avail, they always made it there. He would usually put a stuff toy in his mouth and carry it around while he was herding them, as this kept him from nipping at them. He knew he would be in trouble if he bit them.
I think Wyatt had a pretty good almost 10 years. I wish it hadn't ended so soon. Now he if free to run and play again like he could a few months before. He walked on his walks right up until almost the end. I am sure he is with all our other pets who have passed on, enjoying what they do best,Being loved by those around them. It feels so strange not having him here when I get up in the morning, or come home. I really do miss him, that Wy boy of mine. Someday we will walk together again, until then I have GREAT MEMORIES!
