Hi Gary.
I'm so sorry for your loss.  I know there's a big hole in your life, and
you'll miss Bogart for a long time to come.  I'm glad he was happy until the
end.
My thoughts are with you.
Tracy

hi:

bogart had just turned 8 in august.  we've done a bit of reading and piecing
together what bogart had happening in the last six months.  we'll never know
for sure but i think he had some srot of brain tumor.  he had an episode
that was unexplainable about a month ago.  there was a blood number that
the vet didn't comment on but on research this number is  high if there is
muscle trama, heart issues or brain issues.   we are very sad right now but
i think it was a gift that it all happened at night before bed with both
susan and  me with him. we had such a blast laying in the snow that night
which i am so  thankful for.  we don't get much snow in vancouver. 

it is so weird. last week i was walking a dog, being guided by a dog and
playing with a dog.  tis week i'm only able to talk about my beloved dog. so
sad.

thanks for your kind words.
