    I'm so sorry for your loss - today I took my 11 yr old corgi to the vet, and although he is still with us.....his days are numbered. Isn't it sad that the animals that give us such joy have such short lives?

    Susan, So very sorry for your loss. Our pets become such a part of the family and leave such a void when they leave us. My thoughts are with you and Bruce this evening.
    Weaverly yours ..... Barbara

    Oh Susan, I am so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful dog he was! I too have recently lost pets, including a cat who'd been in the family for 16.5 years. They bring so much joy into our households. I hope his memory always puts a smile on your face and brings you comfort.

    Hi Bruce and Susan,
    How sad to hear about Connor. He was mentioned in many of Bruce's blogs and the love for this little dog came shining through. Enjoy your memories of this wonderful pet and and know we are feeling your sadness at this very hard time. Connor lived a wonderful and happy life with two fantastic and loving owners. Both of us are thinking of you with love. Linda and Tom

    Connor was a beautiful boy. I lost my beautiful boy, Fergus, a Westie, on Sept 24, 2008. I'm so glad you have Calli to fill your hearts. We have Stuart, who is almost 5, and Aberdeen, 2, who fill our days with joy - and bark at the loom and chase stray balls of yarn!
