I wanted to let you know that our adopted dog, Sir, passed away while Beth and I were in Phoenix. He ingested some rocks, got bloat, and then passed away in Beth's care after four long and arduish days.
Because I was at the Bloodhound Unchained conference in Phoenix the whole time, Beth had to care for Sir, cry daily for him, and then ultimately watch him pass....all while I was away. It was, and continues to be, so very hard for her. And for me, being unable to do anything was absolute torture.
But, during my time at the conference, I was befriended by Greg Swann, Cathleen Collins, and Geno Petro, all wonderful people, and truly all I had to keep my sanity and spirit during one very hard week. Greg posted this in his Bloodhound Blog last week, and it means a lot to me.
So read, and see how splendid friendships develop from difficult situations.

Sir was lucky to have you both. When you can -- and I know you can't think that way now -- but when you can, make some other dog that lucky. You'll lose that one, too -- again and again -- until one dog has the sad duty of losing you. But we've had these fast friends with us for 10,000 years, at least, because we bring so much to each other. I'm sorry for you loss -- for now. But I do not doubt the abundance of joy you have yet to give and to get from humankind's true best friends.
