After 14 years together. Lots of good stories and memories. He was a "Puppy" till his last breath and I held him as he went. I know he was an animal, but human emotions say otherwise. One story I'd like to share is from a few years ago. I had bought a bag of salted minnows for a day of fishing during the week. I left them on the counter in the shopping bag. Stepped out for a spell and upon my return found the bag shredded with minnows everywhere!! My dog greeted me at the door with his tongue dragging and panting. The two of us failed to notice that his water bowl was empty before I left and it was July!! To this day I've never heard another dog make such a swoosh sucking sound as he inhaled a fresh cold bowl of water!!!! Thanks for reading my post. Moving forward and staying strong.......
