Cappy Sweet Cappy
We lost our German Shepherd J.T. in January 2003 to cancer and old age (13). I took his food which was left over to our local humane society and while there I asked if they ever got Golden Retrievers in. They didn't have any at that time, but said they would call when they did. Two weeks later "Lucky Louie" became Cappy after Heisman Trophy winner John Capelletti. He immediately won our hearts, but he seemed to have health problems from the onset and we probably ended up spending well over $3000 on him over the 3 1/2 years he BLESSED us with his companionship. We left him at a good kennel near us and went to visit my wife's son who was leaving for IRAQ in 2006. When we returned the vet told us he had a tumor on his tongue which was cancerous. Doc Mike removed 95% of the tumor and told us Cappy probably had a 60/40 chance of survival. Cappy rallied for about 3 weeks, but then the poor baby started to go downhill again and we had him put down. Our Vet raises Golden's also and even he and his wife cried when they put him down. Cappy Thank you for All Your Love.--
