That describes exactly how it was to take my buddy, Bo, a black lab, for one last ride. He was suffering so. I have a tin with his collar around it that I still never did spread anywhere.

Now we have Jed, another black lab. He is no replacement for Bo, and could never be. He is his own, wonderful, self. An irresistible personality. He is six years old now, and I can't imagine when that day comes again. But I will gladly endure it in exchange for his company and devotion now.

I like those two more than most people I ever met. They are far more than just dogs. Hope you are well Laz!

Thanks for your story; your hopes for my health are appreciated and well-founded. I’ve learned more than many can know. There are also some outright-miracles that I have not shared. No one would believe me anyways.
