On a lighter note, in the 8 years we had him he averaged 3 walks a day each and every day no matter the weather so he had almost 9,000 walks in his life...that's not bad

RIP hound...loved ya'
Bob-You really had the highs and the lows with the animals today.

Really sorry to here about old boy Struttin. I always got a charge out of him slipping him a few pieces of pizza when you weren't looking. Now you know why he had the rip-roaring drizzlin' sh*ts the next day.

I can sympathize Bob, I too had to put my Grey down about 4 months ago. It was devastating having to make that decision, she looked great some days and some days she was lethargic. My girl had skin cancer, and although we had several operations to remove tumors, they would constantly reappear. She lived to 11, and with yours making it to 13, they outlived their odds. I would encourage anyone with the means and right habitat to adopt one of these sweet dogs. Sorry for your loss.
