It has been a hard week, for we had to let go and let our dear Mister Tyson head to heaven this week. It literally broke my heart, but I knew it was for the better. I'm so thankful for Tori because without her advice this task might have been impossible. I didn't want to hear such sad news from anyone else, but I knew Tori would guide us to make the right decision for Tyson.
I inherited Tyson 3 years ago. I had just moved into my house by myself and Tanner and Whitney were welcoming Chandler. Tyson, was given to Tanner by Whitney for Christmas 2000. He spend 8 years with them before making the move to live with me and Sigsbee. During his time with Tanner and Whitney he would go everywhere and do everything with them. He sat in the dugout when Tanner coached baseball and he was Whitney's front seat passenger when she would drive back and forth from Columbus. When Chandler was born Tyson came to stay with me and never went back home! He immediately became my protector which made me sleep better at night. I always said,"no one is crazy enough to come into my house with Tyson." He had the biggest bark and scared many people, but if you took the time to love on him he'd try and climb into your lap and snuggle!
Moving to Fleming was easy for Tyson, he loved the fact that Joe would pick him up and carry him on his hip when he came in the door from work and take him to ride on the Ranger!
When it came time for Tyson to go Joe made the comment, "he protected you for a long time, I guess he knows I will protect and take care of you from here on out." Joe was so right in saying this, ever since Tyson came to live with me he did just that, stuck by my side and made sure I was taken care of.
Snug under the covers on a lazy Saturday morning!
He enjoyed many visits to the lake!
Always sat so pretty for Christmas card pictures!
Most of the time he had his tongue out!
Looked big and bad and would have been if I ever needed him to be!
He loved being loved!
