In Memory Of Otis


Otis Tripotis Frito Lay Jackson
May 9, 1994 - May 22, 2007

Otis went to Doggy Heaven on Tuesday, May 22nd! He lived a happy and long 13 years! He tore his ACL in his back right knee in late February. His knee was getting better and he was getting around great! The last three months he wasn't tied up any longer, he played with the neighbor dogs, visited with the neighbor kids and even lost 10 pounds. He was the happiest and friendliest he had ever been! On Monday evening while he was out visiting with his friends, the left knee gave out. His right knee hadn't healed well enough to support his weight. The poor guy wasn't able to walk. He enjoyed a toast and bacon breakfast and later a McDonald's cheesburger and a small fry on his way to the vet. I really wished he would of savored the cheesburger, but I don't even think he chewed it! He was an old, stinky, lumpy, crusty dog in his last few months, but he was the Jackon's family dog. Otis will be missed by all of us! :(

Yes, we will miss OTIS! Who else would pester (bark) at you until you paid attention and petted (spl?) him on the head... and if he did not think you petted him enough... he continued barking at you... I will miss that and more. Love, mom

So sorry to hear about Otis. He is playing in doggy heaven with Buddy, Mack, and Jake. Although Kodi and Maddi never got to meet him they will bury a bone in his honor.
