Albert ended up leaving us just a few of months after he arrived.  He and Shoebert did not get along.  They had a very violent fight and ended up at the emergency vet.  Shoebert's face was covered in stitches.  After that, the two of them could not be together.  Since we had had Shoebert longer and Shoebert has always been Tim's favorite and Shoebert has food allergies and a very expensive diet, we found another home for Albert.  He went to live with a childless, dogless family in Naperville.

We became a two dog familiy after that and stayed that way until Hilbert died eleven years later.

Albert says goodbye
