Janice, I'm so sorry. This is the most difficult part of owning & loving an animal. No matter how long you've had 'em, it hurts so much. My heart goes out to you. Deohgee was such a gentle spirit & so wrinkled, I'm sure he has a special honorary place at the Basset Buffet. Godspeed, Deohgee. Kathleen & Maestro (w/ Henry Wadsworth & Bentley Basset ATB)
