It really helps to hear these kinds of things. I do believe that we have a very unique bond like no other- He gives so much to me that I feel its only right to give some back Smile I certainly have learned a ton about dogs, about their health, about diet, about service, hearing, and guide dogs and most of all about how much I was missing in the world before I got him! Smile One day someone else is going to have to attempt to fill these paws and what an awesome task that will be! I am cherishing every moment now though- knowing he has entered his senior years and none of us knows how long our dogs will be with us. They may die a slow death where we have time to come to terms with their passing or they may go quickly. None of us knows so its up to us to cherish each moment and let them know how much we appreciate what they do for us! Karyn and Met
