Theo 2. 300x237  Theo Naftolin (1998 2011)We must sadly announce the recent pass­ing of Theo. Theo was a long time mem­ber of our day­care pro­gram, how­ever as he became older and started to expe­ri­ence symp­toms of arthri­tis along with other ail­ments he was unable to con­tinue his atten­dance at The Orig­i­nal Dog House.

 Unfor­tu­nately due to cir­cum­stance out our con­trol we lost touch with Theo over the past cou­ple of years, how­ever we never for­got this great boy.

 The staff at The Orig­i­nal Dog House joins David in extend­ing their most sin­cere con­do­lences to Pink Naftolin (Theo’s Dad).

 Rest in Peace THEO

 From all your friends at The Orig­i­nal Dog House
