Ozzy (2004 – 2009)
Ozzy joined us in July 2004 and was our very first dog. Since we were last on the list, Ozzy was the puppy nobody wanted. That didn’t matter to us—we quickly discovered he was the best little friend we could ever have!Ozzy was so well-behaved and well-trained that he could walk off-leash right beside me and never strayed from my side.He was a calm companion—he chased a stick only twice before deciding that was enough. He loved cuddles and, for some reason, always had a habit of sniffing flowers.
In early October 2009, we noticed he wasn’t feeling well. A blood test revealed that he was suffering from a very aggressive form of leukemia. We had to make the hardest decision we never imagined facing—saying goodbye after only five short years.
We still miss him deeply. He now has a small memorial in our garden, since he never had one while he was still with us.
