It’s with a very heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of Fred. Fred’s cancer returned a few weeks ago in his jaw and spread into his insides. He spent his last few weeks resting comfortably at home with our family, enjoying his favorite snacks--hot dogs and...
homemade pup cups--and passed away peacefully in the hugs of his family. Fred was buried on the family ranch with his brothers Toby and Flynn, where they can all enjoy the sunsets together.
Thank you all for letting Fred be a part of your life and preparedness journey. The...
memories that I will carry of Fred meeting the children across Kansas will stay with me forever.
- Michael “leash guy” and family

Let’s talk health preparedness. While playing with Leash Guy, we noticed a lump on my leg. Set a doctor’s appointment and found out I had a cancer mass. It looks like that was the only area and it hadn’t spread to my lungs or anything. Today I had surgery to remove the mass. Pt1

The tornado drill wore me out. Did everyone have a good practice? #retirement #naptime
While leash guy was shoveling snow I made sure this rug didn’t get out of place. If you’re out working, don’t overdo it and watch for cold injuries. - Fred
