~ REST IN PEACE SILVERBACK ~
​

A big thank you to everyone who had kind words and wishes ... I sincerely appreciate it.

I've had a lot of dogs (over a lot of years) but this was a tougher loss for me to take than losing Poncho himself. With Poncho, I expected his death. While not pleasant, Poncho stopped producing by 7 years of age, and then faded out on me over a period of 2 years, until finally I made a decision he had faded out far enough. By contrast, Silverback was 10 years old and had never been sick a day in his life. He was still fertile and, up until last week, was still looking in phenomenal shape.

Apparently, he had cancer in his stomach (unbeknownst to me), which suddenly ruptured rendering him unable to eat ... or keep anything down ... and ultimately put him in a state where he was having grandmal seizures and shitting pure blood ... so I had to put him down on Sunday.

In closing, Silverback marks the last of an era for me. He was the very last dog off of the 3 original littermates (Poncho, Missy, and Ruby) and IMO he the last true "superstar" in ability that I have personally owned. Silverback was right there with Stormbringer in his ability to finish, and while perhaps not as robust as Stormbringer in some areas, Silverback was a better-structured, better overall athlete ... and an absolutely great companion and house dog to boot. He was literally born in my bed, he has has always been vibrant & beaming with health, and he has been my buddy non-stop for basically his entire life.

This was a drastic and unexpected blow to me ... but all anyone can do is pick up the pieces and keep rolling ... so, again, a big thanks to all the dogmen who have been there and know what this is like.

For those who have his offspring, that are still alive, please take care of them ... because there will never be any more of them after this ...

Rest In Peace My Friend,

Jack
