Well I had mentioned that Cheech was sick and at the Vet’s. I went to pick him up today when a chat with the vet revealed an issue. He had a shunt. The short version is that his blood wasnt being filtered properly so it was poisoning him. He wasnt living a very fulfilling life. And while we were talking about what to do, Roman crawled in the kennel with him and put his hand on Cheech’s forehead and hit it with the other hand. He said “Cheech is all better”. I was a little mortified and smiling at the same time. I didn’t know we had a faith healer in the family until tonight. Roman has pulled us through so many dark times. He is seriously the reason were functioning as well as we are. To what level can be argued though :).
The photo above was from a couple of weekends ago when we went fishing. He didn’t like the water and this was him hesitating on the bridge.
Our time with Cheech was too short and sick. We will miss him a very much, but I know all dogs go to heaven and we’ll see him on the other side.

He was just the sweetest little guy. Dean and I both shed a tear and said a prayer. We will see him again. I hate it when they have such a short tragic time here.
