Izzy came to us as a stray. We think he was a dump from a nearby college because it was the end of June. He was very thin but had tail that was VERY thick! As he grew into adult he became the family favorite! He was an excellent mouser and a all around 22 pound friend!We enjoyed 10 years of his love until last week when I was getting ready for work he came into the kitchen and was howling, laying on his side and drooling. It was 5:15 AM and I was on my way out the door for work. There was nothing I could do for him then,but at 7:30 I called the vet and they said get him her ASAP! When I got home at 9:30 AM I found him under my bed. He was gone! Such sadness came over our whole house! He was our clown, head butter and gentle paw for attention friend! We all miss him very much. He is buried under the bird bath in the yard with flowers planted around him!
