Dear David,
    I am just so very sorry to hear that precious Upton has now crossed
the Rainbow Bridge. My Davey is now 10 years old and I dread the day when I
have to retire him or when he too is not with me. 
    Sending you prayers for comfort and strength to cope with your
tremendous loss. 

Blessings,

Kathy

Hello  to all,
I'm so very sorry to hear this news.  I spoke with David last Tuesday
following Upton's surgery to remove the tumor from his leg.  Following this,
Upton got to spend a little precious time at home before crossing the
Rainbow Bridge.  I know we all join in sending our thoughts and prayers to
David as he mourns the loss of his beloved friend.

Dear Fellow Federationists,
    For some reason David Bearden is unable to post to this list.  
We are getting that taken care of.  David called me yesterday afternoon and
asked that I let you know that His faithful guide dog, Upton, crossed the
Rainbow Bridge Friday morning.  The cancer was very aggressive and Upton was
in a great deal of pain, so David made the difficult decision to release
Upton from his pain.  I know how difficult it is to let our four-legged
famly members go and my thoughts and prayers are with David and his family.
R.I.P.  Upton!
