It is with great sadness that I post this...it's been very quiet on Tank's blog for a few reasons. Back in July, we became concerned for the safety of the hairless human. Tank was starting to nip at her and we were doing a nanny share at our house with another kiddo. We felt that for the safety of both kiddos, we would have to do something with Tank. He was also peeing on every-single-thing that belonged to the hairless human. We think that the combination of adding a hairless human and moving all of us into a new house shortly after, made things uber confusing for him. After much thought and discussion, we called the breeder that sold Tank to us. She was sad to hear that we would no longer be able to give him the same level of care, but she was happy to take him back. She ended up keeping the sweet boy. Last week she called us - devastated - Tank had liver cancer and would have to be put down. We were stunned and so sad that our first "baby" was so sick.
Back in 2010, el husbando talked me into an english bulldog. I wasn't an animal lover, that's for sure. But - he brought home this wrinkled little 8 week old pup that just made you smile. We had just suffered a miscarriage and we were sad... I will always remember my first "baby" that brought me out of that funk and filled our hearts with lots of love. And I will always be grateful that the hairless human loves animals because of her brother, Tank.
RIP Tanker.
