Man Tim I feel your pain, as you guys all know I lost Hemi my partner of 13 years This summer. After telling Jodi another Dog was not in my future yet, I needed to process the loss of Hemi. I literally told her a dog would have to fall from the sky for me to get another…… Well Mazee fell from the sky. It is just a terrible process, Dogs just don’t last as long as we do. I simply did not have the emotional courage to take Hemi in. Our Vet is a Country farm Vet and he is filled with compassion. He came out to our place. Heart ache for sure Tim. It is kind of funny how many of us are “Dog Guys”
