Goodbye Old Friend...

This last Sunday we received some sad news. Josh got a text from his good friend Spencer letting us know that Tiancum had passed away that morning. Tiancum was Spencer and Jann's dog that was born around the same time as Jaron.

Until we moved to Vegas, Jaron and Tiancum were best buddies. They played together all the time and it was so cute how protective Tiancum was of Jaron. Any time someone would try to get close to Jaron, Tiancum would step out in front of him and give you a look of, "Don't mess with him or you'll have to deal with me!" He was one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met, so loving and gentle, yet so big in size.

We told Jaron the news as we were leaving church and it was the saddest thing, Jaron got teary eyed. He was very sad and upset about Tiancum being gone. It actually made me tear up a little too. It won't be the same going to visit without him there drooling all over us.

Here is an old picture I had of Jaron and Tiancum together when Jaron was only 3 1/2 years old. It shows how big Tiancum was, but also how loving he was. We'll miss you buddy!
