He's sailing, Rob. such a shock for this newsgroup!

Unfortunately I didn't sail.

My poor old boxer had to be put down after being my best mate for 11
years.

Sorry to hear about your best canine buddy, Oz. Been there, done that...

Got ill while I was away skiing and was diagnosed with lung cancer.

So you allow him to smoke?

Pretty bloody agressive it was too, almost 8 weeks to the day it was
the end.

I know exactly how you feel. I had a Giant Schnauzer that used to go to the
airport with me everyday and fly most all flights. He had a tumor the size
of a football, and the surgeon couldn't get it out without being aggresive
and him bleeding to death. I too, had to do the humane thing...that was
over 16 years ago. The feeling still sting, but it does get better.


Anyway, he's gone now and it'll be another 5 years or so before I'll
want to begin the whole process once again.
It's worth it, but jeez when the end comes, it sure messes you up.

Yep!

Here's a pic in better days, checking out the new neighbour

Nice pic, Oz. Looks like he had control of those annoying kitties! ;-)
