RIP Irbis

LIbby here. We lost our beautiful Irbis two weeks ago. He was suffering from some neurological affliction in his back and could no longer stand or walk, and had stopped eating. He was by far the shiest of all our dogs — he broke a rear leg very badly when he was ust eleven months old and after being plated together had to spend several months in his crate while he healed up from the surgery. His leg healed up well, but being isolated from other dogs and normal socialization with the world stunted his social growth. He retreated to the safety of his box when unknown people were in the house.

He was fine with us, and we really loved him for all his quirky ways. We miss him. Will have a photo up soon.

After over thirty years of anywhere from one to seven dogs, it is very strange to be without any dogs at all.
