I've lost several good "friend's"...just tear's me up everytime. Never think anything can replace the bond's that we had....Then I get a new pup,....and from somewhere unknow...come's even a deeper passion for my new companion...When I remaniss about my late friend's....I still get that blue feeling in my stomach.....but then there's a new wet tounge, and tail wag...and life is good again with my new bud.
