Subject: [NAGDU] Sad news about Bogart

Hello to all my friends:I have some sad news to share with you. Last night
Bogart came home from work with me, enjoyed a good supper and some playing.
We went out for our evening walk, played in the snow off leash and we
enjoyed some pretty hard core wrestling. J We came home and got ready for
bed. Bogart was scratching at his bed, since it is never perfect, and then
came to me seemingly with an issue. Suddenly he had a seizure, laid down and
then left us forever. This is a very sad situation but be comforted knowing
that Bogart felt no pain and was being petted and told he was a good boy by
both Susan and myself until he was gone.Bogart was such a gift to my life.
Me, who wondered if I would love a dog, learned so much about my capacity to
care and the capacity of an animal to be committed to me as well. He went to
so many cool places. I think the topper was he was the only dog to go in the
chapel at the Tower of London where Anne Boleyn was buried. He was a true
individual, loyal forever but had his own ideas of how I should get from
point A to B. Like in sky train stations when I asked him to find stairs he
took me to an elevator because that is how he rolled. Only the best for
Bogart.I can't begin to say how much he will be missed by Susan, me and
everyone who encountered him. If anyone has any pictures of him they could
share with us that would be wonderful. You can email them to
g.steeves at shaw.caOn behalf of Bogart, thanks for being part of our
lives.Good bye Bogart and we'll see you when we see you.Gary PS: We are
grateful for all your support but please allow us a few days to come to
terms with this new change.
