I'm not going to say this in a critical manner, more of an observation because I've been thinking of Bob and how he must feel. It saddens me most when I hear people say that they don't want to have another dog because it hurts too much when they have to leave us. There are so many dogs out there that are sitting in kennels rotting away. Think about how much these dogs would want a chance to be in your life, to be your faithful companion. Trust me, they're begging for a chance to be your loyal friend.
It sucks almost like nothing other when they have to go, but damnit, the joy they bring into our lives is unmeasurable. You know this!
Edit; Chiloe, I love that pic. The dog's just waiting to see what you guys are going to do next. Nice.

I never knew what Nala meant until now...just looked it up.
Gift in Swahili.
Blue...we still have a wonderful dog that hopefully will be around for a while.

Bob,
What a love story!
Here’s my baby a day after she had 4 inches of her intestine removed because some punk thought it would be fun to shoot her with a pellet gun. She was about six months old at the time. She escaped out the garage door that the contractor inadvertently left open. About a week in the vet clinic, and then several weeks of the family taking turns watching and sleeping with her. Lots of tears and anger; how/why would anyone be so messed up?
She’s recovered completely and now enjoys trying to nab birds sitting on branches 30 feet above her.

So sorry to hear about your loss Bob. My pup is getting old for her breed, so I am terrified anytime she gets a bad upset tummy. Don't know what i'll do when she goes.
Fly fishing with dogs is just barely controlled chaos. I love taking my pup with my when I go up in the Uintahs - makes the stormbound tent time a lot more fun.

God bless you Bob, I have been through this as well and feel for you man. I always said that dogs were the best people that I have ever met.
