Adopted January 19, 2004
Wally, you were the light of our lives. You waited for us everyday at grandpa and grandma's and would light up the room when we came in. [his story]

He had many tricks, his favorite being 'Sad Wally', where he would put his paw over his face. He even taught our Tuffy, 17 year old Sheltie cross this same trick.

Wally was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer in August, 2006. He put up a very valiant fight, which he lost on January 22, 2007. We tried to keep him as comfortable as we could for as long as we could, but the pain became too much for all of us.

Wally, we'll see you again at the Rainbow Bridge. Take care my little friend.
