I have been avoiding this thread Ink, I get emotional way to easy and I must keep my feelings in cheek as much as possible these days
Loosing a great friend is hard, I have been there many times in my life
Thank you for giving Blue a great home Doug, many dogs don't get that ya know
Keep all the good memories and great care you gave him close and move forward knowing
you was a great master to him, It's a hard thing man, Treva and I send our condolences and hope you can feel good for the care and love you gave Blue.
Thank you for being you and giving Blue a great home and attention many four leggers will never see. Mike.

More tears....but thanks Mike....coming from a dog person this means the world to us. We did the best in giving Blue a good life. Just like any pup Blue did his best to try our patience at times. Blue was a member of the shredding crew for a while. Blue, Red, Queenie and occasionally Mr. Max would have a field day when we were at work....you would be surprised at much of a mess a Sunday paper can make. One of them used a 2-0 battery cable as dental floss once. Got home form work one night and Ernie noticed a dish towel was mia. And that Blue was acting "weird"....and would not eat. We heard a very sickening noise in the middle of the night in the back yard....it was Blue throwing up the towel...came out the way it went in, still in one piece. I joked that Ernie should just wash it and keep using it. I have a few pictures of Blue that I am going to post when I get home today, it is going to take a while to find them.

I would like to Thank everyone for your comments. It is helping me get thru this.

"many dogs don't get that ya know".....This statement is so true. See it often up here. People with there dogs left outside, with no shelter at all, in all kinds of weather. When we go to Petsmart lately we go thru the "SCRAPS" adoption area, it breaks my heart to see some of those poop shooters in there.

One of the reasons we have African Greys is with a bit of luck we will not have to see them go, they will outlive us if they live the 50 or so years they have been known to live. And with the vocabulary they have Desiree, our daughter, will have plenty of embarrassing moments from them.

Thanks again everyone...
