Troy Ingraham

It was very moving today to hear Laura Ingraham talking about having to put her yellow lab Troy to sleep yesterday. NBS lost his black lab this spring, at it was not easy. Troy Ingraham was 13 and his health was failing. You could tell Laura was not trying to talk about it too much, and she told her staff to keep it upbeat and aggressive to help her get through the show. But you could tell she was in a lot of pain. From the tribute on her website:

He was Laura's best friend since she first picked him up in May 1994--long before her television and radio career began, back when Laura was still a lawyer and running marathons. He never left her side during her cancer treatments last year, when she tore her knee skiing, and when she lost her mother to cancer in 1999. While others come and go in our lives, a dog's love remains constant. And yes, our pets' deaths are time markers in our own lives--as we see our own twilight approaching. Troy was a good boy. His job is done. Godspeed.
