Yup, Duke gave me SO MUCH over the years, i felt VERY guilty at
potentially 'abandoning him in his time of need'

the vet was kind and honest

i didn't 'hear'

he recovered (well, not really, he was ready to die and let me know
that)..... that's about when i burst into tears and took the next 3 days
sorting out what i had to do

i still cry!

some dogs are just our "heart" dogs, aren't they??

i love the dogs i've had since Gramps, but............ Gramps was MY DOG
thru and thru, i don't know who needed each other the most (i suspect it
was me with him a close 2nd)
