Hobo the retired Fire Dog

The End of The Road for Hobo

On Thursday October 6th, 2005 I had to say good bye to my best buddy and friend. I held Hobo in my arms in the seat of my pick up truck while my vet put him to sleep. ..... someday... when I have the strength to talk more about it. ... I will. I miss him terribly. I love you Hob' It won't be long and I'll be with you so we can run thru the woods and find more squirrels to chase! ... good bye
p.s. Zilla and Pepe miss you terribly. They have been laying by your bed waiting for you to come home.

Hobo's long life

As Hobo's master, I new I had to sit down sometime and write a short story about this remarkable and loveable buddy of mine.
I don't have time to go into all the details about the start our relationship. .. so as time goes on I'll just have to reminesce about our past each time I come here to write more down.
But I need to get to the point here about Hobo's life coming to a close. Approximately 1yr ago he was diagnosed with Kidney Failure. I've managed to keep him alive and healthy with a special dog food diet alone (KD dog food). But he is waisting away and is now down to 63 lbs. the end is near. I suspect sometime in the next 6 months. But I'm shocked that he even lasted a whole year. I'll miss this guy terribly. In fact it's just too painful to continue here, so i must close and come back another day to write some more.
