Caper

i
Sadly we said "so Long" to our 12 year 9 month old mini schnauzer, Caper.  He was such a good dog, despite his quirks and will be forever missed.  He suffered a stroke in May 2012 which we thought then would be his demise but surprisingly with a "shoe" modification and a harness, he was able to recover. Pancreatitis had been his enemy since 2010 and so food specially cooked, brown rice, chicken and pumpkin, this was somewhat under control. Insulin administered twice a day kept his diabetes under control.  His eyesight failed completely upon Cowboy's passing, so his last year was stressful for him.  He was an amazingly tenacious friend and each time some new illness came along he/we dealt with it and came through.  A severe stroke Nov 13 though was more than his body was able to deal with.  He could no longer stand on his own and hold his head up.  Sadly, Bill and I made the decision to peacefully let him forever sleep.  We know that he and Cowboy along with Sascha are frolicking at the Rainbow Bridge, no longer suffering or in pain. Rest in Peace, Baby Boy. We love you. :-)
