I've had dogs my entire life, and when our dear Bubba was killed by a vehicle, we went to the local shelter to see about replacing him.

I have rural property and all that ... trolley lines, etc and everything looked good for an adoption until they asked about my vet record.

Huh?

Your vet record ... the record of you taking your dog to the vet.

I've inoculated maybe one or two dogs in my life and never had any problems (usually start a distemper series and never finish, or I got one dog a rabies shot)

They were all mutts, healthy, fun and loyal until they died old.

Except Fuzzy ... he just quit after my first wife died in 2004.

Just stopped eating and being alive ... and willed his heart to stop.

I'm convinced of that.

So sad about reading of the passing of your two dogs.

Fuzzy must have died of a broken heart when your wife had died.
