It's tough being a dog lover. I've buried way too many good buddies over the years, The last one was Scout, my Golden Retriever, who died last summer on a backpacking trip on Tonga Ridge. We now have Katie, one of his nieces. She is shaping up to be every bit the dog Scout was. They are all irreplacable, but the plan is to outlive several more. Grieve your old pal for awhile; remember him forever; and do another dog a big favor and give them a good home too. Remember - "all dogs go to heaven". I have to believe we will catch up with our buds on the other side. Ol' Zeus will be there waiting for you.
