Thank you all for your many e-mails...IT REALLY DOES HELP...... I will see my boy again someday, but for now I just want to leave with telling this short story. I owned a waterfront condo in NH, that Keno loved ,,,he loved to swim. I always had him loose as there was no need for a leash..If I was outside he was by my side and if I went inside , he would peer through the glass till I came back...Simple as that... One day one of the BOARD members of the condo association gingerly walked over and said to me " you know Bonna according to the condo rules that dog is supposed to be on a leash." I looked at him and smiled and said "He is on a leash YOU just cant see it"" And that my friends was Keno Bonna ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
