Lloyd,

Thank you, and I apologize for this incident hijacking your thread. Thanks to all who have expressed their sympathy and concern.

I buried Cady this morning, early, then got busy with the concerns of the day on the farm. But, as my wife put it, things just seem "hollow". Cady's kennel is in view from our kitchen window and my farm shop. We both looked at it many times today, only to remember it was empty.

Life goes on, hurts heal. God is good. All the time.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
