Hi Fellas,

It's been a while since I've posted; I've been too distressed caring for my twelve-year-old black lab for the last month. I had to put her to sleep yesterday afternoon. She often kept me company while shaving in the morning, and I have no heart to shave today.

Please forgive my sharing this with you all. I didn't realize until now how much I've treasured my association with you folks.

Sincerely,
Jeff

Sorry to hear this sad news but 12 years for a lab is really great. I'm sure you did whatever was necessary so she wouldn't suffer. Either way, they are family and losing a dog is like losing a family member. Lots of positive vibes coming my way during those coming weeks. Max

I can empathize with you. I can't think of a better group to share with and that can understand your sorrow!

The TI just does not wanna play right. I got out the Dickinson and it shaved me real nice like. The pic is from Dead Man. From what I understand it was Robert Mitchum's last movie. The character he played was named Dickinson.

JimR! Im sorry for your loss. Hang in there.

Hot shower, and this:

Made quick work of 3 day growth.

That's very sad. I keep looking at my ten year old Dalmatian, Lucy, and wondering how much time we have left together...
