Remembering Toby
October 27, 1991 - October 25, 2003


As most dogs do, Toby began life as a puppy.


That's our younger son, Glen, with Toby in the picture at right.

In the spring of 1992, Toby got down to business.
Before we knew it, Toby had become an adolescent.
Toby was growing up.

Puppies have a habit of growing up quickly.
These pictures were taken around Toby's first birthday.


These two show Toby in his prime at about two years old.


Toby and Nutmeg, the love of his life, at Milwaukee's old dog park.
Meg is about a year and a half in this picture. Toby's nearly two.


The dogs in Toby's play pack recognized him as king of the dog park. The six photos that follow show the king wiith some of his subjects and his younger sister, Tiger Lily.












Toby became an only dog again during the spring of 2000. He was pretty lonely in his yard all by himself.
During this period, Toby made his wishes clearly known. He wanted another little sister.
Toby's ol' man tried to fill in, but he's not a Boxer.

So a rescue girl named Emily joined our pack.



As you can see, Emily fit into our group perfectly.

But there were times when Toby couldn't help thinking of Lily.

Toby was a nicely behaved Boxer. As you can see, he was crate trained.

Toby and his ol' man just three days before Toby died.
