Blue RIP 2006-2017

Blue is now hiking with Joy in heaven.

Blue had surgery on 7/22/2017 to remove his spleen because of internal bleeding from tumors on the spleen.  At that time it was discovered he also had tumors on his liver.  The tumors were later determined to be cancerous, hemangiosarcoma.  Blue passed 9/8/2017.


My favorite pictures of Blue

Blue's first day.  He was about a year old and only weighed 38 pounds.  Joy fattened him up to 50 pounds in no time.   May 2007


Such an intense interest in whatever caused the little ripple in the water and what a long neck, Tuscohatchie Lake September 2007.


Blue and Sly cuddle bugs November 2007


Joy got a great shot of Blue in his perfect pose with the sun on the maple leaves, Gold Creek October 2010.


Any trail any time makes Blue a happy boy, Putrid Pete's Peak March 2010.


Perfect timing with just Blue's head in the sunlight, Lodge Lake June 2010.


On the hike to Kendall Peak we were not expecting any views because of the fog on the way up.  We broke through the top of the clouds just before the summit.  Kendall Peak October 2010


Absolutely nothing better than a nice role in the snow, West Tiger November 2010.
