Sad Day in Herring Household










RIP PorkChop. You knew how to press our buttons, but you were our baby before we had babies. You were a good dog and we already miss you greatly. Hopefully you are not feeling any pain anymore and playing with Lucky in Doggie Heaven.

PorkChop had slowly been going downhill lately and we had to make the tough decision to bring him to put him down before he got worse. We think it was a form of cancer that started in his mouth and had progressed rapidly in the last couple of days. The decision was definitely not an easy one and I think both John and myself were hoping it wouldn't actually come to this at all, but we knew it was the right decision when he was having a hard time eating his favorite - pig ears, and also had a hard time with the last meal we bought him of a roast beef sandwich. He was a wonderful dog who we are already missing dearly. RIP PorkChop. We love you and as Tommy says "I'm sad" which pretty much sums it up for all of us. :-(

Hooks and I loved Pork Chop too and we are also sad to hear this. But it is good that he is finally at rest.
Yes, RIP Pork Chop.
