That's great news Kat!

In 1990, I lost my Lab retriever "Blue" on Mount Elbert, the highest mountain in Colorado. He was apparently circling the summit looking for me, and survived some three days at that 14,500 ft elevation. Two climbers were able to coax and carry him the seven miles back to a bar near the trailhead. I remember picking him up in my truck and watching him peacefully nodding off in the back while I wished that somehow he could tell me what the experience had been like for him.

I guess both Priscilla and I were very lucky to get our friends back.
