Even though we knew that he'd had problems, on and off, he was doing much better until yesterday. He was eating heartily, coming to us to beg for treats, etc. So, his downhill turn was all within' a fairly short period of time.

I'm glad to know that others knew him, at least a little, too.

As I thought about his life, yesterday, I realized that he was the one dog that we had who just didn't dislike anyone.

Also, I was super, super glad that he saw Ds the other day. He's missed him terribly since he got married, and even more the past 2 months, when he hadn't seen him at all. Well, the other day, he happened to be outside when Ds came by to drop equipment off up the hill, and he was *so* excited to see him. I would have felt bad forever, had he not seen him that day.

Yes, thank you. It's been a hard day overall.
