[NAGDU] Info For Laurie And News On Shep

[Gary Steeves]

Hi James:

I'm so sorry for your loss.  my guide Bogart, died last December unexpectedly and it has taken a long time to get through the grief.  however, what I'm left with is so many memories of  all the wonderful times we had together.  like you said, it is important to cherish all the moments with your dog. 

sending you  positive thoughts.
