At our apartment when we first moved to AZ
Leroy loved that we bought him a house with a pool
Typical Leroy, lounging on the bedOur sweet old dog, Leroy passed away last night. While we did what we could with the Valley Fever treatment, it was quite likely that he also had liver cancer and his body probably just couldn't fight it. He was an awesome dog and we will miss him terribly. Even though my heart hurts for him, I know that he lived a good life and he loved us.
I'm not a religious person at all, but I like to think that Leroy is up in doggie heaven having a great time. I told John this morning that I hoped that God's caterers are ready for Leroy with some steaks, french fries and peanut butter. John said that with all the beer drinking and up-close sniffing of cigarette smoke that he did in college, Leroy probably won't ever leave the Pub in heaven. I think that he's probably right. Leroy was known to "accidently" knock over your beer so that he could lick it up. We always called Leroy the man's man. He loved beer, cigarettes and even stealing my underwear. Leroy was quite a character and there won't ever be another dog like him. So long, old pal!

Leroy was my first "granddog" and I will miss him.
We are very sorry to hear about Leroy. I still remember the days when he was a pup back at Mike's house, flying around the back yard. You guys are in our thoughts. Love, Jim, Jen, Ethan, and Caitlin.
