R.I.P. Kenji

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of when Don and I had to put our beloved dog, Kenji to sleep. Don had Kenji for 13 years, so it was very difficult for everyone here. He had been diagnosed with cancer in November and almost died then. But, we were able to temporarily save him and make him feel better. The cancer, however, had spread and in February, Kenji just started getting sicker and sicker until he couldn't stand or walk anymore. Kenji was such a happy go lucky boy and always had a big smile on his face, even in those last days when he felt really bad. We still miss him everyday but know he is in Heaven waiting for us.

awwww, this post just breaks my heart. poor little kenji. :(

what a handsome dog he was! :) you can tell he was so loved by you guys. it's amazing how dogs really do become part of the family.

in the words of my 4 year old niece (who said this when my sister told her they had to give their dog, bailey, to God), "it's okay. he's up there swimming without floaties and running and jumping and God will make him all better. OH, AND HE GETS ALL THE TREATS HE WANTS!".
