\"SpankyCharles “Spanky” Brooks<\/strong>
\n1996 – 1999<\/p>\n

After years of seizures, brought on by temperance shots as a puppy, the Brooks family loses one of our own today…leaving behind 5 broken hearted children.<\/p>\n

He was originally named “Charlie” when we
\ngot him at North Shore Animal League<\/strong>, but it was later changed to “Spanky” because, well, he was “Spanky”!<\/p>\n

The burial was today at 2:15 PM. Yours truly, Cerberus, Fidget and Dot-Com were there to say goodbye to our friend. The news was broken to the children when they came home that evening.<\/p>\n

He never made the papers for anything heroic, he never won any awards at shows…<\/p>\n

…But that didn’t mean Spanky didn’t touch a lot of peoples lives and will be missed terribly.<\/p>\n

The chilling sound of all of the neighborhood dogs
\nhowling will continue throughout the night….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
