In Memory of Rico


Well, Miller & Winston had a new best friend for a few days. This is Rico. Our neighbors, Brent & Katie, bought Rico on Saturday in Arroyo which is not too far from Guayama. He was so cute! He weighed 1 lb 7 oz and was a pure bred Boston Terrier. The boys were getting along great with him. They were very curious about the "little guy". We had the pleasure of knowing Rico from Saturday until yesterday. Unfortunately there was an accident yesterday (don't worry...it didn't involve Courtney, me, Miller or Winston) and Rico fell and hit his head. He hit hard enough that he had trauma to the brain. He began to have seizures after his fall. Luckily they found a wonderful vet who did everything he could. He even took Rico to his own home to work with him last night. Unfortunately, little Rico passed away this morning. Being pet lovers this has hit us all pretty hard and we will miss him. Winston was so cute! He saw that Katie was upset yesterday so he went up and laid his head in her lap just looking at her. He wasn't being a pest, just trying to help her. It's good to know there is a good vet close by in case we need anything for "the boys".
Ride on little Rico!! We love you!
