Good-Bye to Our Dear Friend Blue
April 17, 2009 – 2:55 am
We are sad to have to say good bye to one of our great office dogs, Blue. After being sick at the office several days last week, his mama, Donna, took him to the doctor to find out what was wrong. The doctor said he had a large tumor in his tummy that had been growing for a long time. Life will not be the same without you Blue. You will be missed by all of us. We know, wherever you are, you are resting more comfortably and you get to have as many apples as you can eat. Lots of love! Good Bye Blue.
