Our little Cocker Spaniel, Tuff, was hit by a car on Saturday. We were not home. Some strangers took him over to the vet. The vet did all he could to save little Tuff, but there was internal bleeding that could not be stopped. The vet identified him as our dog through his rabies tag. The vet called and left a message at our house that he had our dog. When we got over there, he informed us that Tuff had not made it.
Dear Tuff,I am so sad that you died. I love you. I will always love you and remember you. You were the best dog in the world. I liked to rub your ears, snuggle with you,play with you out in the yard, and teaching you how to walk on your back legs.Love Madison (your owner)xoxo
Dear Tuff,
Dear Tuff,I loved to snuggle with you. You were soft. Your head was cute. I was sad when you died. xoxo Love Alex (your owner)
We had a hard time keeping Tuff inside the yard. I took my camera out one day to see if I could catch him climbing up and through the fence we had built to contain him. Sure enough, he found a way out!
He was an escape artist!
We buried Tuffy out to the farm right next to Nomar. It was a sad day. He was a good "kid dog." My heart ached watching the kids say "Good-bye" to Tuff. We buried him with his stuffed ducks and a note from each of the kids. Even Kevin and Kort (our cousins) came out and put a doggie treat in with Tuffy before we covered him. We will miss you Tuff!

Oh, how sad! I almost cried when Hank's fish died so a dog is not likely to be in our future. That picture of your kids by his grave breaks my heart.
:( sorry guys. That is hard losing a pet. Poor Maddie. And holy what a crazy talented dog he was escaping by climbing the fence.
I am such a baby today! I am crying over little Tuffy. Last time I was at your house he was out on his leash in the front yard. I am so sorry, people who don't have little dogs don't understand how they really are part of the family. If you are looking for another doggy, I am trying to find a good home with kids for little Bronco cause 2 dogs has been too hard for me!
What a sad experience to go through. It is so hard on kids to lose a pet. Our hearts go out to all of you!!
Sorry about your little dog. Kids get so attached and so do we. Hope it gets easier for the kids.
I was just so sorry to hear about Tuff...that's what sucks about having pets..you love them, they love you and then they aren't there anymore...that's why I never get emotionally attached to animals...oh, wait..I don't think I really like animals..but nonetheles, it is still sad and it still leaves an ache in your heart..hope the kiddies are doing okay...love you all.
Poor Tuff. I know exactly how all of you feel. Hank was hit by a car on Memorial Day last year and it is such a bummer. You can't contain them as much as you try. What a cool dog. Love the graveyard rocks.
