Ogre

Ogre was by all accounts, a gentle giant. He was adopted from animal control at four years old and weighed 120 lbs. A large, big headed, black American Bulldog was a scary sight but if you knew him, you would know he was the softest dog and loved everyone. He quickly warmed up our highly anxious dog Woobie and became snuggle buddies with him. He was the only dog our cat became friends with and would frequently sunbathe in the lights of the window in the afternoons. He was patient and affectionate with everyone and became a slobbery nanny to all of the foster babies and kids he met through our home. He was extremely adept at meeting people and animals where they were at; whether it was high energy play, curled up together, or watching us cook in the kitchen hoping a crumb would fall. He was one of our favorite “hello’s” and an extremely difficult “goodbye”. We were blessed to have him in our lives for as long as we did have him. Our 5 year old daughter Nixie would like to say, “bye Ogie, I gave you hugs and kissies bye bye to you and I hope you feel good in heaven and not hurting anymore. I love you Ogie and play with all the doggies in doggie heaven, bye Ogie”.
