Here is to ETERNITY!!! xoxo
I never thought I'd have to say bye to this guy... After surving multiple dog attacks, cougar attack, hit by 2 cars, got his tail cut off by riding on the go ped, multiple pellet gun shots, locked in a neighbors hot garage for 3 days, diabetes, accidently being left in moms car overnight w/out his diabetes shots, cataracts, and probably much more... A stupid deer got the best of him. Norm passed away on Tuesday, September 21, 2010. I'll never forget when Santa surprised us with you 12 years ago. It is going to be so sad, and weird going home in October with out him there. He was a good dog, more like a human. Sure he had selective hearing, drove the neighbors nuts, and was always smelly and dirty. But he was a security to my whole family, the neighborhood mascot, he was like a little brother and loved going on Harley rides with my dad. You will always be Super Dog to me!! I love you Norm, see ya later buddy... :(
This was when Norm was a little on the heavy side... come to find out the poor guy had diabetes.
...isn't deer hunting season comin up???
{norm's funeral}
So, I admit... I never understood why people got so sad when they lost a pet, or even had funerals for them, until now. Its been a lot harder than I thought to loose our little Norm. My family had a little burial/funeral for The Dawg last week, and yes... I was on the phone so I could be apart of it and say my goodbyes to the stinky thing. Norm really was apart of our family and I can't believe how much he fit in! He was such a Keller dog, so much that its almost humorous. Anyway, Whit sent me some pictures and I thought I would share. My brothers buried him up at my parents new house (they are finally moving into this month!) that has a great view and perfect place to visit... :) Joe, our family friend and vet was sweet to clean Norm, sew him all up and make him look like our sweet little puppy. I saw pictures of what that stupid deer did to him and it makes me sick. Our neighbor that saw it said Norm was just minding his own business when the deer freaked out. But we are grateful to Joe for putting him back together! Here are a few pictures of Norm's burial...
I LOVE these pictures of my nephews looking over Norms little grave. They all LOVED Norm and would never leave him alone. Its funny cause they all love Norms big pillow and Norm got so bugged when he would walk in the family room to see them laying on it. But he sure loved kids, and he was their buddy.
