Tribute To Scruffy

I am sad to say that Scruffy is no longer here with us.  As many of you know, Scruffy had not been doing well during the last few months and took a turn for the worse.  We adopted Scruffy 5 years ago from a friend from work.  She had found Scruffy wandering the streets.  Although his exact age wasn't known, he was about 2 years old.  Scruffy had a terrible skin fungus and was cured of it.  Once we adopted him he was a lot of fun.  Bobby and I always laughed at how uncoordinated he was because he would always trip on his walks.  He had funny ears and terrible teeth, but he had the best personality.  He was a kind and obedient dog who brought us a lot of laughs.  Although the vet always scolded us for his weight, we could never get it down.  We walked him every night and put him on a green bean diet, yet we could only get him to lose 4 pounds over the course of a 2 years.  During his last few months, Scruffy went blind and began losing weight.  Within a few months Scruffy went from 42 pounds to less then 20.  It was a very hard thing to do, but we didn't want Scruffy to suffer.  He will always have a special place in our hearts and we know that he is up in heaven with Astro, McKeever and Beau.  We love you Scruffy!
