Introducing Buster!

We really weren't planning on getting a new pet so soon, but I was browsing on http://www.narfrescue.org/ (where we found Farley), and saw this wonderful face looking back at me:








Buster is a male dachshund / terrier mix and was 11 weeks old when we got him on November 22nd.

I was dreading having a sad Thanksgiving without Farley here, and Kevin agreed it would agree to give that cute face a home! He's been a big hit here, and is great with Katie. We're looking forward to January 3 when he gets his final shots so he can go out and play at the park and dogpark!

November was a very sad months for us. Starting in October we realized Farley was not feeling well. On November 1st he was diagnosed with cancer, and we were told surgery was not an option and that he had only 1-2 months left. The cancer was in his throat and lymph nodes, and soon he was unable to eat. On November 14 Kevin and I took him to the vet (who Farley loved!) and ended his suffering. It all happened way too fast.


Farley was the best dog ever. He always had sparkling eyes and a wagging tail. He was so well loved by family, friends and the entire neighborhood. I was overwhelmed at the outpouring of love, concern and condolences - over a dog! He certainly was a huge part of our family, and always will be.
