Bob:
I'm very sorry for your loss. Struttin sounds like he was a wonderful dog. Clearly you gave him a good home and loved him very much. Hang in there and consider adopting again when the time is right.
Struttin is up there running around with Nikki. My best friend called me today to let me know that she lost Nikki last Monday. Nikki was a sweet, lovable Border Collie. I got Nikki for my friend about 11 years ago after her last dog passed away. She had just moved to her dream property where she could keep her own horses.
God bless Struttin and Nikki.
Please everyone give your pet/s an extra hug or two today just for the heck of it.
