Tommy and I bought Kellogg and Raisin in July 2006. They came from the same litter and we fell in love with the both of them, but technically Kellogg (the runt of the litter) was Tommy's dog and Raisin was mine. They are pure bred American Bulldogs and are related to Chance from Homeward Bound.

Kellogg and Raisin grew up together - they were sisters but they were also the Best of Friends. Kellogg was our dog that always had something wrong with her.

My kids love the dogs and the dogs love them and are really good with them. They let them climb on them, pull on them, sit on them. One of Evelyn's first words was "Dog".

In October 2011, we took Kellogg into the Vet because she had been limping on and off with her left front paw. The Vet thought it was tendinitis or arthritis and gave us some pills. After a week of not getting better and playing as hard as Kellogg always did she got to the point where she wasn't using the leg at all. We took her back to the Vet so he could do an X-Ray. What he found shocked us all - even him. The complete wrist had been taken over by Bone Cancer. He told us we could amputate and do chemo but that there was a high chance the Cancer had spread elsewhere. Tommy and I took Kellogg home for an additional week, and than decided to put her sleep on Nov. 5th. It was a very sad day for the Probasco Family.
We are going to miss Kellogg - even the annoying things she did. I know Raisin already misses her and I hope we can provide enough comfort to her in this time.

Rest in Peace Kellogg (March 2006 - Nov. 5, 2011)

That is a beautiful tribute to Kellogg. Putting a dog to sleep is one of the hardest moments in life. She was very lucky to be in such a loving family.
