So Long Wylie

Wylie, my family dog we got when I was 12, passed away at 9pm last night at home with my parents. We loved him very much and he had a really great life. He was healthy and had a big personality. He hadn't been doing very well lately and had trouble getting comfortable and walking. I wish I could have seen him again when I go home for Memorial Day, but I did get to see him a couple weeks ago.

Wylie is a Rhodesian Ridgeback. This picture shows the breed's characteristic strip of hair that grows backward on their back: their "ridge".


Wylie loved going to the park. He loved to chase squirrels but he'd always
come when we called him back.
