In Loving Memory Of Powell

From March 1994 - March 2009
This is one of my favorite pictures of him. He sometimes slept with his tongue sticking out. This week we had to do one of the toughest things we have ever done. We had to put Powell down. We found out about 6 weeks ago that he had cancer on his liver. The vet told us he only had a week to live maybe a month. But he was a tough dog and made it a month and a half before Shawn and I decided it was time for him to be free of any discomfort he may have, and release him to dog heaven where he will be made perfect and be able run and play once again. I've only known Powell 6 years, when Shawn and I started dating, but Shawn got him when he was just a few weeks old. I have so many great memories of him. He was the best dog ever! Very loyal companion, very loving and cuddly(like his dad, Shawn), always there when we needed him to comfort us. He's helped both of us through some tough times in our lives. He left behind his sister, Sabian, who he loved so much! We are grateful to still have Sabian in our lives, but Powell will be missed very much. We loved him so much!
