I am so, so sorry. Thinking of you.
A beautiful dog.
Take comfort in knowing he's now out of pain, and able to run and romp, chase squirrels and annoy cats beyond the bridge.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Well- what can I say - thank you all.
There is this Black Cat that hangs around because my sister feeds it. Scoots out of the garage whenever I drive into the driveway (my sis'es car is in the garage) 'cause he knows the big dog is in the back seat barking when he sees him and ready to rumble - this has been going on for years.
So tonight I'm hanging out in the driveway - visualizing Rookie mulching the grass and generally having a good time on the lawn - the BC comes up - out of nowhere - want's to be fed - OK - ya got me - I'll get the food.
Cat eats and then goes nutso on me - this is a feral cat!
Short of the long the cat marches thru the basement door and disapeares - may have taken up inside residence.
Go figure - just what I need - a cat?
How did it know the Big Dog was gone?
Touched my heart .. to be continued ...
