Dear Sir
Your Loss set me back. Sorry for such a late post. I have been a Dog guy since Childhood. My Mother would allow me to have Machine Guns (1960's) or anything EXCEPT a Motorcycle or a Dog. In time, I got both.
I will not go into every time, after Years, I lost my best friend.
The Pain, Anguish and Hole in me, each time, Hurt so bad.
Right now I live with 3 Dogs that belong to my Youngest daughter Stefanie (22). One is Older and the other two Young, German Shorthair Pointers.
Lord how I wish I had the Male GSP back when I was Young.
Us guys whom are on this Campfire have, I feel, a close Personal connection to the animals we love (in our Homes) and love to Hunt for Meat. Kinda Crazy in some respects but, that connection to K-9's has been true for a Gazillion years I suppose.
Your Loss has been felt in the past by Humans that we don't even know where their bone are, let alone, a Gazillion year old You Tube Video of how each felt. Yes, writing such words seem odd but, I saw the Dinosaur impressions in the Rocks that Spark walked upon. Kinda makes a thinking guy think about all that has been real, in the days before now.
Bean, possibly I felt for your loss and could not write until now. Sorry if some of the above seems to deep (Or to Homer, as weird + I need my Medications) I do like Homer. I just need to poke at him from time to time.
Respectfully Mr. Bean
