I am so sorry for your loss Sue. Hunter was a lovely dog. When his sister Holly (Woodside's Fortune Teller) has to be put down due to mesenteric torsion 2 years ago her family was devastated, especially the two little boys. Now this year, Holly's half brother (same sire) CH Sandstone's Slam Dunk It (Duncan) had to be put down for the same thing. It is a terrible tragedy and my two families who owned them still mourn their passing.
