As I said earlier in reply to an insensitive twerp’s criticism, my original post reporting the Good News of my dog’s recovery from major surgery was on this thread so, for the sake of the continuity of his story, it seemed to be the right place to report his loss. Perhaps grief affected my ability to reason, who knows? But, if the Mods agree with you, I have no objection to all my posts regarding my dog - the early, happy ones as well as the recent, sad ones - being moved to a new thread.

Thanks for the commiserations.
