                           The above photo was taken the first week Smooch was with us in July 2003. He was six and a half years old, and an absolute doll!  We fell in love immediately,
                           and Smooch loves his new family (especially Mom) and his whippet girls - he even likes Sal! Sadly, we lost our beautiful "Moo Man" on August 26, 2008, after a brief but devastating illness. He passed
                           away with his head on my lap; my sweet mama's boy to the end. We miss our dear old man, our giant hairy whippet, the best
                           and loveliest dog ever to grace this earth. Sleep well, Smoochie-Moo; we'll always hold you in our hearts!
