Tasha was taking three different pain killers for osteocarcinoma of the femur. I had to keep increasing the doses to control her pain. I chose to let Tasha go this afternoon (2/19/2013).

To Absent Dogs
Last Wednesday (2/13/2013) Dakota passed away from a respiratory problem. X-rays showed that her lungs were clear and there were no obstructions, however she could not catch her breath and her tongue was turning blue.
Tasha was taking three different pain killers for osteocarcinoma of the femur. I had to keep increasing the doses to control her pain. I chose to let Tasha go this afternoon (2/19/2013).
During this time, Darryl began to limp. The diagnosis was an aggressive osteosarcoma and he had only 1 to 2 months to live. I had to keep increasing the dosage of the pain killers and I was afraid because eventually the affected bone would break. Darryl joined Dakota and Tasha on March 12, 2013.

I was going through some old files and found this certificate from NASA for Darryl.
