Thanks to you all it helps to know you are out there.

The vet is coming tomorrow at noon - that means that Kendall's grandson can be here to bury the boy - not something that Kendall feels he wants to do.

Mary will be here to say goodbye to the best dog ever.

I'm really not a dog person but this crazy mutt just took my heart. Right now, listening to his stressed breathing at night and seeing how he is generally just makes me want to take away all the pain. Yesterday he didn't even want to go get the mail, which is something that usually has him leaping out the door, as he knows that a treat will follow.

gnu - he's being fed good stuff. Tonight he'll have a can of Dinty Moore stew - Mary tells me he loves that when he stays with her and I'm sure I'll find a few more treats for him.

Spaw - so sorry to hear about your puppy. They are so vulnerable in so many ways.
