My sympathies 3refs ..... I share your grief .... 3 weeks today we had to put our Otis down .... (he had bone cancer) ... Ann and I were with him at the end .... we are still crying today .... he came to us when he wasn't quite 2 years old, from the Seabrook Race track in New Hmaphire ... he was in such bad shape, he never knew what a pat was ..... over the next 5 years he blosoomed into one of the most lovely, sincere, happy, gentle dogs I have ever known .... Ann and I were blessed to have him our lives .... he died a stoic gentleman.

A big hug of condolence to ya 3Refs.
