Condolences sent to all.

We lost our beloved Max some years ago in this fashion. I got a call from my wife while I was at work and she said he was by my chair and that was where I had left him that morning. I heard dog tags in my head for months after he passed. Finally, almost a year later 9/11 happened and I said I'll be damned if I won't get another golden before I croak. Had dogs (goldens) all my married life (39 years), can't live w/o them now.

They just make a good day "great" and a bad day "bearable".
