"Watson" Baird
September11, 2002 to March 27, 2016
Watson Baird was born on September 11, 2002 and came to live with his Mom by Lea Ann Williams Rasar on Friday, Nov 27, 2004, while scratching up Lori Charsha's new car and Amanda Lindsey's legs. He moved to Winston Salem, where he was an only child until Jan, 2006. His mother then became a foster failure and adopted Peanut Baird, his sister. The family soon moved into the Ronald McDonald House of Winston Salem, and while Peanut is a freak to folks, Watson loved everyone he crossed paths with every day. He knew they were here to see him and scratch his ears. Watson aged and was well loved by the staff at Ard Vista Animal Hospital. Dr. LeFevre was his primary vet, but Dr. Ray Morrison filled in when necessary. He partied hard for his birthday and holidays and loved all the action of any gathering.
As he grew older, Watson slowed down and our walks grew shorter and then non existent and his weight decreased, while his sister and I packed on the pounds! Watson had declined in health in the last year, and last night he lost his battle with a massive liver tumor and internal bleeding at 3:15am.
He leaves me with so many funny memories and sweet times, and to mourn his death, along with his sister Peanut, who searched for him all morning before falling asleep finally. He also leaves his family who loved him well: Sue Baird Lori Baird Charsha Tonya Dunn Baird Ashley Charsha Amanda Brooke Charsha-LindseyAaron CharshaAubrie Baird Derek Cole Baird, and a bajillion other cousins/aunts/uncles and friends.
Should you wish to honor Watson, please gift the Buddy Fund at Ard Vista. They not only vet but rescue.
