Subject: Duke went to the bridge this morning.........................

You may remember Duke, the large white boxer we pulled from the humane society here about three years ago. He was emaciated, had sores, his coat was burnt from lying on hot concrete here in Texas, etc, etc. We had him for a month... and that kid turned my heart to putty. His footprints went very deep, and have remained well covered. Aim was able to take him after losing her Rambo, then her Theo to heart issues. She loved that guy. Brought him back to life. His health, coat, and issues cleared up. She loved him... he loved her right back a hundred fold. He learned to play with his new sister Chloe... and they were a pair.

This morning, after he ate breakfast, he wouldn't take his meds (heart issue Aim found about about a few months ago when he aws having some MCT'removed. Hi sgums began to go pale... he just slumped and stopped breathing. Aim tried to resuscitate him, breathing for him... got him to the cariac vet.... He left her in tears (hysterical actually) Pat spoke with both daughters..... and everyone is a mess.

If he had not become my grand-dog, he would have stayed here with us, somehow. I'm glad that he had the last three years of his previously horrible life in a home filled with love and caring. It hurts really bad and I gotta go. Hug your kids.
