Thanks guys. Hank has big paws to fill. Jack was the best of the best of the 4 I have had. 7 was too young to die and so sudden. I put $4K into him trying to give us time to say good bye and they were great days indeed, worth every penny. In the end though it's an incurable disease and I had to honor the contract I made with him when I got him as a puppy. It was the right thing to do but as others have said it never gets any easier and is indeed heart wrenching. Trying to move on but even with Hank around there is still a huge hole in our hearts. Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts.
Another shot of Jack...such a sweet smart boy..
