Only 7½-years-old, on October 8, 2007, he was taken from us suddenly and unexpectedly from hemangiosarcoma of the heart.  He crossed to the bridge way too young, but he is in our hearts forever. Cancer may have taken his body, but his soul lives on in our hearts and memories. ESPN was the joy of our household and the youngest fur baby.

You can see they are both just kicking back and enjoying the ride, while mom and dad do all the driving.

Once found, she will sit for hours under the tree or follow the squirrel from tree to tree. You have to leash her to get her to come home.

Both Chance and Summer are now at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for their family." — Photographer Liz Watson of Fort Worth, TX Entry #73: I could do this all day! — (8-year-old Tucker above) — "Tucker loves to swim.
