Stretch Roberson

We lost our dear buddy Strech-a-Reno Roberson this afternoon. We have been having some issues for a while. Allen took him to the vet for some testing this afternoon and it quickly became clear that Stretch was in the fairly advanced stages of dementia. Stretch was 16 years old, had recently lost a significant amount of weight, and we would find him wandering around the house, bumping into walls in the middle of the night. He didn't ever seem to know where he was.

This, and quite a few other factors, prompted the vet to agree, that is was time for Ole' Bean. Allen made the difficult decision for Stretch this afternoon.

It goes without saying that Allen, Myself, Alex, and most of all Jack, will miss him terribly.
