Message to Calvin: In loving memory of our sweet boy Calvin. Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you. The last 13 years were filled with your love and affection and the house feels so empty now. The first day you came to us from that rescue organization in Oklahoma we knew you were in your furever home. You were the best dog any family could ever ask for!!! We miss you so much but are comforted knowing you are no longer in pain.
Tell us about Calvin: We rescued Calvin from a shelter in Oklahoma after a tornado ripped through the town of Moore. Calvin was the name given to him at the shelter so we just stuck with that. His nicknames included Calvie, Hammy, and Sausage! Calvin was a bit of a shorter and stockier pitbull mix, hence the nickname sausage 🙂
Calvin enjoyed belly rubs so much that even at the dog park he would run in and lay down right away for all his dog friends to sniff and lick him! He got along with everyone and every animal. He loved his kitty fur brothers Cody and Rudy (although I think he was kind of scared of Rudy ha ha). His favorite treat was a rawhide. He was a quiet dog that never barked. And he lived to “sniff you a secret” by sniffing in your ear, and then of course licking your face.
He was such a good boy and always listened. He was so smart and very easy to train. We could take him outside without a leash and he would never leave our side. In his last years with us, he even made some deer friends that would come see him from the forest preserve by our house. He was truly one of a kind and we miss him dearly.
