<DIV>I was so sorry to read that Newman D. has gone to the bridge We
are owned by Rocky who was his brother. Rocky is still with us,
looking forward to his New Year's Eve birthday. He has lots of
health issues but still loves to eat and be with his family and is a happy
dog. He get acupuncture treatments every month now - down from every
two weeks - and I do believe that they are keeping him mobile. I wonder
how many of the 12 littermates are still with their families and how many are
together again at the bridge. </DIV>
