Tanner passed away today. My mom asked me to find any photos I had of him, so I diligently looked through all my pics from the past few years. I had so many more photos of him than I thought I would! We had such fun with him. 13 years of walks, hikes, snuggles, treats, cuddles and ear scratches. His mission in life was to make the humans happy, and he sure did. I loved dog sitting when my parents would go out of town, that is when I would really get the full Tanner, when he wasn’t distracted by my mom. My mom was his favorite human, no question. He didn’t want to sit on the couch unless she was there, didn’t want to eat unless she served him, didn’t want cuddles from anyone from her. But when they were out of town, I took on that role. I got all the cuddles. 

I will miss him so much, but am so glad he didn’t suffer unnecessarily.
