Rex O'Quinn, honorary DOTW for 11/25-11/29

Rex O'Quinn is the honorary DOTW for 11/25-11/29. Rex has already been the DOTW, but sadly, Rex passed away on Wednesday after a valiant fight against cancer. Rex was such a part of Dog Days, that I felt he should be the DOTW again, to honor his memory. Rex was a 9 year old Vizsla who'd been coming to Dog Days for over 6 years. Rex's two favorite things were playing ball and being with his people - he was a true Velcro dog. Rex gave great kisses, squinched his eyes up and wiggled when he was excited and allowed us all to hug on him when we needed to. He was very entertaining in his attemps to catch the ball, but he loved playing, so it didn't matter if he wasn't successful alot of the time. He fought the good fight against the stupid cancer, but in the end, it won, as it almost always does. We are thankful that his parents entrusted him to our care for so long, and that we got to see him the day before he passed. Rest in peace, Rex, and God speed.
