The picture in my avatar is Jake. I lost him just a about a year ago after a 1 1/2 year battle with cancer. He was 8 years old when I lost him... He went thru 5 surgerys 3 rounds of kemo and retain his happy go luck disposition right up until the day we had to let him go when he went into kidney failure.
The picture below is Scooter. He is currently 9 months old and he and Jake would be cousins.
