<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>Sorry for taking so long to
respond back to the Drool community. Both Reenie and I were overwhelmed by the
kind words and messages that were sent to us after our Chili went to the
bridge. Even though he was 15 years old, it was so sudden. On Monday of that
week he was woofing at everyone and acting puppy like. By Wednesday he was
lethargic and had stopped eating. I rushed him to the vet and the vet did some
blood work to check for cushings and kidney functions. Nothing was apparent in
the blood work. The vet wanted to keep him overnight so he could check his
urine first thing in the morning. At 8:30am the doctor called me and said that
Chili was brought out of the kennel and was having trouble breathing. While he
was being checked he passed away. It is still so very painful and I see him out
of the corner of my eye every day. The loss of Chili comes less than a year
after we lost our Daisy. We love having senior hounds around the house and will
rescue another when the time is right.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'> The Hounds, Reenie and I would
like to express our thanks for all the kind words from everyone. I have saved
all the private emails and will respond to everyone individually.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>Thanks and Drool,<o:p></o:p></p>
