.

THE ABOVE PHOTO WAS TAKEN THIS PAST WINTER AT THE HORSE BARN AT THE JACKSON COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS IN MAQUOKETA.    MY GRANDSON
JACOB (MOTHER LONNA WORKS AT MSB WESTSIDE OFFICE) IS SHOWN WITH
DOC.
DOC DIED OVERNIGHT LAST NIGHT......AT AGE 17 (EQUAL TO OVER 100 HUMAN YEARS)
HIS OWNERS ARE BRAD AND LAURIE ASHBY OF MAQUOKETA.
THEY HAVE HAD DOC SINCE HE WAS A PUPPY AND HE LIVED AT THE  HORSE BARN ALL HIS LIFE.   MANY FFA AND 4-H  KIDS GOT TO KNOW DOC OVER THE
YEARS.    JACOB HAS SPENT A LOT OF SATURDAYS IN MAQUOKETA THE PAST 8 YEARS AND OFTEN WE WOULD GO OUT TO SEE DOC AND THE HORSES AND JACOB WOULD "THROW-THE-BALL" WITH THE DOG.  
THE ASHBYS ARE SAD TODAY, JACOB IS TOO...AND THERE WILL BE OTHERS...
ALL REMEMBERING THE GOOD TIMES WITH DOC.
I TALKED ABOUT HIM ON MY MORNING SHOW THIS MORNING...FIRST TIME IN 55 YEARS I DID EULOGY FOR A DOG.
