Zappa passed away in our arms this morning at 7 am. I’m glad he waited for me to come home from the AWC National to say good bye. It was very quick as he seemed quite all right until Friday morning. Howard got him to the vet on Saturday and we were waiting for blood work results. He had a number of titles but the best thing he ever did was be a wonderful father to his puppies. He adored each and everyone of them….licking them dry if they got rained on, playing with them when he was never really playfull himself as a puppy, and never, ever losing patience with them even when they should be acting their age. We will miss his fruit-bat ears, his helicopter tail, and his “Barry White” howls when the girls were in season. I’m sure Bonnie will greet him with “Hello damn puppy!” when he sees her. Go out there and squish some bunnies Zappa Do!

Hug your hounds very tight.
