Trooper joined our family on July 5, 2002. We treasured every moment with him and miss him so much!!! Trooper was the best dog we could have imagined. Spoiled since he was our only child (yes dog as our child, since we don't have kids)..... We loved doing the sprinkler and bubbles with him as these were two of his favorite things... We even broke out the sprinkler in November this year for him!!! He tried to get us to do sprinkler again in late December (in the snow) but we had to say no, unfortunately... So did bubbles instead. We were always together as a family, taking vacations, helping on haunted houses and halloween parties. Trooper was always with us!

It was sad to lose Trooper, as he was so young, and to such a horrible condition and we hope maybe in the future more could be done for others suffering from these conditions (Trooper had SIBO and IBD). It is such a debilitating disease and we just wish more could be done for these animals.

We thank his vet, Dr. Thomas, and all the staff at Sacajawea for their memorial donation in Trooper's name...
