SFTY I'm really sorry for your partents loss. I hope you are OK as well the yard is a good place to unload and there are always a few dogs around to talk too.
I lost my ole dog Leeroy (my avatar) about two years ago. We were never apart till I went to the sand box. Even when I came home he was the best friend I could have had. I truly know there loss. Keep your head up brother.
