    So sorry Rotti.

    We lost 3 in the last 6 months. It's never easy to let a good friend go.

    To all of my FHC friends, I thank you all for your kind words. This morning feels very strange to say the least. The next couple of days are gonna be tough for sure. To all who have canine companions, love em' because they sure as hell love you, and enjoy them for the short time that we have them........

    Hope you and Mrs. are dealing with it alright. It sure seemed to progress quickly as it seems you had just notified us of Bear's troubles not that long ago.

    Always tough losing a dog.

    Wow! Sounds like he was an awesome companion and you were an awesome parent. It's just too bad that they can't live with us forever.

    I'm very sorry to hear rottiman , we had to put down our family pet a few years back, it's a tough thing to do but it was the correct thing to do.

    I hope with time it helps the healing process for your family.
