I've got a lab-mix right now, Lou. That's my boy, when I'm home goes pretty much everywhere with me. That's my boy. Picked up a runny nose a few weeks ago, so had him to the vet a couple of times, and antibiotics that mostly stopped it, but not quite. Had him to the vet for more tests last week, and Saturday while out in the barn looking the new concrete over, figuring out if was cured enough, the vet called. Looks like a tumor high up in his snout at the eyes. D..., that vet didn't need to call me early in the AM with that. Ruined my weekend, and more. So, took Monday off and to the vet for more tests to be sent to Purdue's vet center to see what we can do. Oughta hear tomorrow, and maybe a trip to Purdue. That's my boy. Eight years old, eats well, runs, plays, digs stuff up, that's my boy. If we can fix him up and he's happy and not in pain, then that's what we'll do. But if can't, I'm humane, and won't put him through pain.

Had a female lab-mix got from the pound that had heartworm and a fragmented shoulder blade from being shot before I got her, and thoroughly beat. One of the best until cancer got her at eleven. A couple of years later, lost my border collie mix that I got at the same time with her to kidneys at thirteen, another good boy.

Best dogs? From the pound with one foot in the glue pot if someone doesn't adopt them before their 10 days is up. They're so greatful, even if you don't take care of them, for those that don't. I take care of my dogs, they take care of me. Lou's my boy, and I'm praying like ..., but if and when the time comes, no more for me. Unlike my Amish neighbors, I don't see them as beasts of burdon, a dime a dozen... I can't go through putting another one down after this. That's my boy.

Thanks for asking.

Mark
