Hi, Beverley! So sorry to hear about losing your dog. It's such a big
painful loss. Just remember all the wonderul years and good times you had
together and what a blessing he's been in your life. I just want to
encourage you to think about a new dog when you're ready as sometimes in
their own way that can help heal that big empty place.

Sending a big hug!
Charlene

I know I haven't written much to the list, but just wanted everyone to know
that Shiloh, my retired guide dog, was put down on Friday. She had that hip
and back leg problem and Friday morning she was unable to walk. When she
tried, she kept falling. She didn't want to eat, and that was very strange
for her. After taking her to the vet, we made the decision to put her down.
She was 12, and with me for 10 years. 

I feel empty now, but in time, I'm sure I will feel better. Don't know if I
will get another dog, haven't crossed that bridge yet.
