Tuffy Boy

Tuffy - a big powerful black lab.  Tuffy Boy is his registered name.  He came to us as the runt of the littler back in January of 2002.  A gift to my now husband, for his birthday.  They say all labs have a personality all their own.  That is Tuffy.  He would talk to us when he was tired, hungry or wanted to go outside.  Being 116#'s, he was still my lap dog.  We have a camper up-north, and he was quickly deemed the "dog of the park", making his rounds every morning to all the campers to say goodmorning.  He was a Big Brother to our yellow lab puppy, and wouldn't hurt a flee.    Then, on 3-28-09, Tim & I went out to dinner, and came home and sat in the hot tub.  All three of out labs always came outside with us, and sat by the tub.  (Tuffy a black lab, Sheena a chocolate lab, and Bucky a yellow lab).  After sitting in the tub for awhile, I asked Tim who had their nose over my shoulder, he said no one..  But, I had felt a nose.   We went into the house with Bucky & Sheena, and I never realized Tuffy wasn't with us.  A little while later, my daugher came home with Tuffy.  She had found him on the side of the road.   Now I know the nose I felt, was his.  Being March with frozen ground, we decided to take him to Peaceful Pines.  They were great and understood that I lost a DEAR friend and companiion.  Thank you for evreything, and for letting me pour my feelings out.  I have had numerous dogs in my life, but, Tuffy is the biggest lost.  I will never forget you Buddy.
Love Mom...
