"Old dogs, like old shoes, are comfortable. They might be a bit out of shape and a little worn around the edges, but they fit well."
- Bonnie Wilcox, 'Old Dogs, Old Friends'
With heavy heart, we at the Spin Cycle (Bisquick included) pay tribute to Sport, a Jack Russell terrier who died today. He was attacked the other day by another dog and a local vet tried very hard to save him. His owners are friends of ours. He was loved very much. Sport was 9 years old. He'll be buried in our friends' backyard tomorrow.
What makes this even more sad is that Sport's "dad" (the husband of the family) is battling brain cancer; and he and his wife have two young children who are of course broken up by the loss of their little friend.
Sport, you can now eat all the dog bones you wish and run and play with reckless abandon.
PS This photo is not Sport but one I found on the Internet of a Jack Russell.

We're so sorry to hear about Sport. We know he must've been a very Fierce, Brave soul. We're certain he's probably tugging on a mint chew bone right now, and we hope his family understands that sometimes we have to leave before they do.
That is very kind.
Did you have fun at the "other" ocean?
