Twila-
My meart was heavy as I read Remington's story. It was great to hear what a wonderful time he enjoyed in the end. My wife Mary and I are at a similar point now, with Molly, our dear 16 year old Terrier mix. At sixteen, she needs help up and down stairs and I am sure she wonders for moments, why she is in the backyard for "potty" breaks. I just hope we get a sign that it is time to bid her fairwell. We are trying to prepare each other for the inevitable, but we know it will be DIFFICULT. They do become part of the family, and we want only the best for them.
Our Warmest Wishes and Prayers to you and your family.
Dave
