Hi Camy- That is so sad to hear. We lost our sheltie last summer, and we still think of him daily and talk of him often. So I can identify with part of your loss. The part where he was almost literally part of you, I can only imagine. Twain loved pets. In fact, on his travels he would sometimes rent cats to keep him company. My wife and I grieve with you. Love and Best Regards, Tom Swenson (Tom as Mark Twain)
