Our Dudley has left for the Bridge this afternoon. He has been slowing down a lot over the last few months and recently showing more signs of his age. He had been diagnosed with kidney disease a short while ago, and while I do not think that was the cause of today, it probably added to whatever else was happening with him. Dudley was with us a little under 2 years, but what a presence he was. We told him all about the kitchen Beagles.......he knows the large and in charge Beagle Scooter, head chef, Bona and also Hunter. SO he is probably eating in grand style this evening and sharing tales of home. Anyway, I believe that to be true. Dawg speed, sweet boy. We love you. Hug your babes just a bit more tonight, never is enough time with them.</span><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Wen and the Bounders<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal>houndsabound@cfl.rr.com<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
