Hey guys.....

Those at Polkfest will probably remember that Gunny's paw was wrapped up due to a mysterious wound that wouldn't seem to heal. Anyhow, turns out that it's due to a tumor in his foot so I took him in today and they are amputating a toe. Anyhow, say a good word for the old boy for a speedy recovery.

    Good Luck, Gunny. Hey, at your age, you don't need to go chasing the mailman, anyway. Just take a dump in the path he always walks. Kinda get the same effect (you know what I'm tallkin' 'bout...;) )

    Well gang, sad news.

    His little heart just gave out under the anthestisia and they couldn't bring him back.

    This really sucks. Please say a prayer for our little bubba.

    Sorry to read of Gunny's passing. He had so much character in that face. I still say he was 20, if he was a day.

    Here's the full pic of the one I snapped of him...

    I'm very sorry to hear about that, Troy and Wendi. It's tough as hell to lose one of the family like that.

    Damn fine friend he was. Take comfort in the fact he loved you as much as you did him.

    Thoughts, prayers and condolences...
