Man, such a pretty boy! It's so sad when our furry family members get old and pass on to Rainbow Bridge.I'm sorry to hear that about your boy. We still have two and they are getting up there in age too. I can't imagine not having another in the future, though it is getting harder for us to take care of a big dog like that.
I'll be honest -- I'd have a dozen before Grumpy got home from work tonight if I thought I could pull it off (and I could ) but it wouldn't be fair to the dogs. I was having some trouble keeping up with all the activity and mental stimulation that breed needs before the tree tried to take me out.
I'm rapidly turning into the American version of the Russian cat lady ... Lol
