ok, this is sad. i have to check the heading as i read and respond. there are several of us on the same threads, so quick, without looking , what thread are we on??? crazy, right. i am very sad and introspective tonight as my rottie friend spends his last night with his family. tomorrow he is in god's arms. he has stopped eating, and his systems are shutting down. my heart goes out to his mom, grannof6, and his dane sister, heidi. rest, puppy. all will be well.
