Man tuff news for sure, wife is looking at a four year old hound named chaos from the rescue joint. We are leaning towards not but they just melt your heart. Everyday with a good hound is a blessing. Seven years is a lifetime of memories. You have some rough days ahead of you for sure. Every time you lose one you swear you won’t get another so as not to repeat the cycle. But then the next furball looks up at you with a mouthful of your pant leg held in the death grip only a puppy with those itty bitty sharp teeth can do and the cycle starts anew!
