This was our first dog: Ashton. He was a Keeshond and named after the cigar, as I purchased a box of Ashton 898's for our wedding back in 99.
His back legs quit working over time and we had to put him down almost 3 years ago. Man he was a kickass dog who was my shadow.
This is our current dog. Nougat, the soft coated wheaten terrier. He, much like Ashton, was picked out by the wife to be her dog, but is ultimately my dog. We tried Nougat out for a weekend before we had to put Ash down, but he was too much of a handful with a sick dog. We ended up getting him a few short days after to help ease our pain.
