I lost my faithful friend and helper Bart, a golden retriever, last spring. In fact, I held him in my arms when he died. If anyone doesn't think that their pet isn't part of the family, I guess they think different than me. Bart had his own sock with a dog bone in it on the mantle at Christmas, knew about 15-20 words, always went to the woods with me when I hunted mushrooms or cut wood, would play endlessly with the kids and grandkids, would always fetch a toy thrown in the yard -- but would never give it back! In the winter he would usually sleep in his doghouse at night but sometimes he would rough it and sleep outside and I would find him in the morning with snow all over him. He was a tough guy with a golden heart. Every year on his birthday I would put a whole can of solid dog food in his bowl and put a lit candle on it. One year he took a look at it and gulped down the whole works, lit candle and all! I would be engrossed in some job and I would look up and Bart would always be near me, watching and wagging his tail when I would talk to him. In fact he was "helping" me when I was out in the shop when he died. When he died my wife and I wrapped him in some old blankets and buried him in one of her flower beds. She planted some flowers over his grave and I also put a solar light at the head of his grave. I know that sounds silly but I just wanted to do something like that for my faithful friend. I don't know if I will ever have a dog again. It just wouldn't be the same. Pat
