We love you so much, little Roscoe, RIP.

Today Derek and I had to say good-bye to our little boy. Roscoe caught a very strong string of Parvo, and passed away within 36 hours of being diagnosed. He had 2 of the 3 boosters for Parvo, but he was just wasn't old enough for his last one. We were very careful about contact with older dogs, and are floored that this could happen to our little one. The vets said that we did everything possible, but the virus was just too much for Roscoe's body to handle. He was only 10 1/2 weeks old, and we brought him home 3 weeks ago today. He was the beginning to our little family, and we already miss him more than I can even begin to describe. Our hearts are broken, and we know it will take a very long time for them to heal. Thank you so much to those who have offered up their thoughts, prayers, support, and advice; this would be exponentially harder to cope with without all of y'alls help. Roscoe is out of the pain that he was in, and we know that he is running (not so gracefully, that was his style) around the Rainbow Bridge with all the others who went before him. He is now our little angel.

RIP Roscoe, our little boy. Mommy and Daddy love you so very much <3

No one should probably bring in a new puppy right now because the virus can live in the ground for months and it's very hard to disinfect porous surfaces. What a lousy disease this one is.

Wait at that bridge, Roscoe, by the rainbow.
