It makes PERFECT sense, and now that you've let us meet him-- I miss him, too. I love that raincoat episode-- you kept him safe right to the end, dear man.

I had a dog a bit like Sam. She came to us an adult, grieving the long, at-home cancer death of her master. Once she perked up she was a riot, and SO loyal. I measure all dogs by her-- shouldn't, but I do. Can't bear to say more about her, even now.

I hope BJ and Sam play together in heaven.
