    Indeed.

    Condolences, JAD. It's always too soon.

    Sounds cool. Being able to take my dog with me to work was something I always wanted to do.
    I heard that up the road from my camp the recon guys had a dog hanging out. Legend has they put the dog in a duffel bag for a night jump. Supposedly they found the duffel full of crap and never saw the dog again.

    He was named Marvin after Marvin the Martian, because that’s how he walked.

    Thank you, this one is definitely fitting in. He hangs out with me in the morning when I'm drinking coffee. and sometimes falls back asleep while holding him.

    So sorry to hear that JAD. You definitely did the right thing for the old pup.

    They trust us to tell them when it is time to go out, when it is time to walk, when it is time to play, when it is time to eat and when it is time for bed. It is only right that the good pack leader tells them when it is time to finally rest. Be a good pack leader.

    After 12 years we lost Brock last week. I've been building an album of every picture from puppy to now, and even dealing with seizures the past 2 years and more recently needing wheels for mobility he was always happy, curious and loving.
