After raising a litter of 6 wonderful puppies with our Sophie & Clancy, we were able to place them all in loving homes throughout the area. The last puppy to go was Elwood. We finally were able to place him in a home in Kenosha, WI. But after just four days, the family decided raising a puppy was to much of an inconvenience. So we happily took Elwood back, and resumed our search for a new home, with no luck. About three months later, Elwood's father Clancy was diagnosed with Lymphoma. Everyone was in shock this could occur in a three year old dog. Sadly, Clancy lost his courageous battle one month later. We now knew why Elwood had came back to us. Needless to say, he is a permanent part of our family now, and keeps the memories of Clancy with us everyday! From Larry & Terri Sande |
