Last week, a very dear friend and neighbor went to Heaven. Hobey Baker was a very wonderful boy who loved to run and rarely barked. He's a lot like me. We also have being mellow and loving our family in common. We loved to run the fence line together and he was the fastest of all of us. He was very special to brothers Rudy, Ringo and me. We will miss him very much.
Hobey had a tough start to his life, but was so lucky to be adopted by his people who gave him the TLC he needed and deserved. He came from the Red Lake Reservation, where he spent most of his time outside. When his people adopted him, he had a badly infected leg. They got him the medical attention necessary and saved the leg!
Like my brother, Rudy, his life on Earth was far too short. He loved life and touched the hearts of many. We knew his people loved hockey because of Hobey's name. Hobey Baker was named after a college hockey player from a long time ago. They have a trophy named after him that they give out to the best college hockey player every year. The name really fits our friend, Hobey Baker - because he's the best!
We included the link to little video of Hobey enjoying his Christmas present from us this year. What a happy boy! We love you, Hobey!
