Wednesday 6/2 Live Blog

We've been talking about it for the last week, and finally the day has arrived for little Derby to say "adios" to his little friends. Jon and his wife would like to extend their thanks to everyone for their best wishes as their dog prepares to get snipped later this morning by Dr. Ann Sosalla and staff at Companion Animal Care. A steady hand is all we ask, Dr. Ann. Check back tomorrow morning for an update on the procedure, and please keep Derby (and his nuts) in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
