Couple of Updates from the Goodest Boy, Wade

Hi everybody. It’s the goodest boy, Wade. I’m gonna do my best on the computer even though the keyboard is still not user friendly to paws. Someone should really work on that. It’s a bazillion dollar idea that we can share. I’ll take my portion of the profits in hamburgers.

Dad wasn’t feeling very good so Mom and my big brothers had a big, loud truck with some friendly people come and help take him to the doctor. He was having lots of problems with his tummy and was more confused than usual so they said they’re going to keep him there for a few days to fix him. The rest of my family keeps leaving then coming back smelling like him and looking super sad, so Abby and I have to protect the house from dangerous marauders like the Amazon truck. But we get lonely without our family here with us. 

Update from Wadey part 2

Well this sucks. Mom and the brothers rushed out a couple days ago and haven’t come home yet. Maybe they forgot where the house is. Or got lost. Or got stolen by aliens. All equally possible explanations. That would be a disaster since Abby and I aren’t able to reach the pedals of the car to go find and rescue them. Maybe we could try some teamwork where one of us does the pedals and the other does the steering. Or buy a Tesla and have it drive itself. Not a Cybertruck though, those things are ugly. I’m sure Mom would understand us borrowing one of the cars or buying a more puppy-driver-friendly one for an emergency. 

Other people keep coming in to say hi and do treat distribution which is pretty cool, but I want my family back. It gets boring here sometimes waiting for them to remember how to make the car come back home. Oh well. Fortunately, Wade is super tough and responsible. 

Update from Wadey part 3

Mom and the brothers figured out where the house was, so that’s good news. Bad news is they said Daddy had to go to Heaven to check on his dad and some of the other puppies. Not sure how I’m supposed to supervise him up there so that is being delegated to Bob and Jake and Cocoa and Pebbles. Mom vouched for them and said they’re very responsible and experienced at supervising Dad, especially in exchange for pizza bones and steak and popcorn and something called “scurvy medicine.” 

I’m going to miss my daddy. He did tell me that my new job is going to be to supervise Mom and Mr. Steve and Mr. Jeff and Abby so I guess that means that Wade is the boss now (just don’t tell Mom). 

Update part 4

Hi everybody. Steve here. I’m gonna help Wade with this part since he’s just a little guy and struggles with the big words. 

Dad passed away on Tuesday night. He fought his battle against the cancer until the very end, then in true Dad fashion kept fighting long past the point of defeat. He was a stubborn pain in the butt like that. We were still delusionally hoping for one last miraculous improvement, but that wasn’t in the cards and we can at least take solace in knowing that he wasn’t in pain any more. He had spent the last several weeks perpetually miserable and exhausted, so it is a relief that at least for a couple days he was finally able to comfortably sleep without pain and allow himself to peacefully drift away to rest in peace. 

Alright, onto the logistics of this… 

In lieu of flowers, please direct donations to either 

• The Archdiocese of the Military
• Father Vincent Capodanno Guild 

These are both organizations that were important to him, and certainly more than flowers which he thought were pointless anyway since, as he always put it, “Why would I give you something that’s technically already dead?” 

His services and rosary will all be held at Our Lady of Grace. We are still finalizing the details and everything with that, so stay tuned. I will post a follow up with the date and time everything will be happening. 

In the meantime, please give your dogs a treat on his behalf since “All puppies are good puppies and good puppies should get treats.” Thank you.
