Good-Bye to our Tempe

 10+ years ago I visited the Humane Society and found a darling puppy with a tag on her cage that read, "puppy: great dane mix. here because she was too much puppy for her prior home." Her ginormous paws won my heart along with her big snout and brown eyes.

Well in a weeks time Tempe stopped eating, and started really struggling to be able to get around. She was taken to the vet 3x in a week and was finally diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that was moving rapidly. Then in just a few hours she went from having to be lifted up 2 steps to not being able to stand or walk at all. And we knew it was the end. Mark slept in the kitchen by her during her last night as whined and worried the hours away, and when morning came we carried all 130lbs of her to the vet to say good-bye.

We love you Tempe. You were always so big and cuddly. A perfect Maxwell dog.
