As a dog owner, I can relate, Mr Rick. Feel good the little guy lived a long life by your hands and heart. Blessings.
......
The other day, one of my dogs was in the yard of the empty house next door. About 15ish yards from me. I was standing next to my house. Visible from the east. Invisible from the west.
As I'm watching my dog. A four door, silver, Infinity with a black woman, whose head was hanging out the passenger window. Stops just past the yard. My dog was in. They were driving east and the occupants couldn't see me.
She begins to open the door. I then start calling my dog. The driver yells something that sounded like, "No...garble". Loud enough to scare the dog to where he switches to high gear towards me. Before the scare he was walking.
The car takes off as soon as I yelled.
Have you ever seen the lost dog notices on telephone poles and at the gas station? Usually a small adult dog or puppy?
They're not lost. They were stolen. For what purpose, I don't know. But I'm sure it's not because someone wanted to steal a pet to have a pet.

Our vet, who boards her horse with us, came to the house yesterday to take care of her here also.
She gave us a discount on the house call, so we sent some Nothing Bundt cake treats to the clinic today to say thank you.

I would've never believed how kind, caring, understanding and professional these folks were if I hadn't went through the process my self. I was told ahead of time how good they were but they far exceeded my expectations...........mac
Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

So sorry for your loss, mac.

There are times when I think of the dog I was born with - a German Shepherd my Dad rescued when stationed in Berchtesgarden after the war. This dog was a true guardian, and never let anyone in the yard without our permission. When kids would try and leave, he would shepherd them back into the yard until we told him it was okay. He was never on a leash, nor was he tied out. Unlike most of his breed, however, he wasn't a wanderer. He would sit in the front seat of the car, and eat an ice cream cone holding it in his front paws. People loved to watch that. I was 6 when he died, and I thought I was going to die.
I have a lot more trust in dogs than humans.

I had one like that when I was a kid... My dad found her (Queenie) with her head stuck in a fence at the Gerbers baby food plant where he worked and bought her home that night. She was never on a leash, and was "free range" at all times. She died of cancer when I was about 12 years old and I have never found another like her.
Want her to come home? Just whistle and she was there within 5 minutes.. Or sit down to eat.
