That you so much you guys for your kind words and sympathies. It's comforting to know that people you regularly associate with not only share your grief, but can fully understand that a dog is not just a dog, but is a member of your family and a part of you. It's going to be a struggle to deal with the emptiness this big guy leaves behind. I know it wasn't his idea, he prolonged things as long as he could. His time has come. Thanks, again.
