Ted, I grieved with him when Barron was gone. He was a tower of strength for me, when I lost one of my own canine kids. He started with
"it will be tough, but treat her as if she's still in perfect health. she'll sense that her family is well, and she will feel well. then it's time time to help her on her way. she needs you to perform the hardest act of love there is, helping her pass and relieve her suffering. - regards - Bob".
And when the end came, he consoled me with "Geo, i'm sorry for your loss. you made the right decision. had Mindee been a wild creature nature would have provided a cruel resolution. you provided a painless exit for her. never doubt that.

He was a scholar and a gentleman. I am certain he still is wherever he is. The cycle shall continue for him. My best to you and your family & friends.
