Feral-John, You just about killed me with your current "puppy-eating-turkey" header art, and the two videos. Can you hold off from posting that stuff for a while? Not quite three weeks ago, my family lost our beloved Bagel to an unexpected illness. She had a splenic tumor that ruptured. Could have done surgery to remove the spleen, but even if that went really, really well, her probable survival would have only been a couple months. It's still very odd not having 80# of golden retriever at my feet. My family will miss "Das Plotzen-hund". From time to time I still hear sounds of her paws on our oak floors, but of course it is something different.
I'm getting used to the new normal, as is My Lovely Bride. I don't think the loss has really hit My Progeny. When it does, I suspect things will get kind of ugly for a while.
We have an 80# lab that plays with the kids 8# poodle like that, funny to watch and interesting to contemplate that she knows that the little guy can't play on her terms. It reassures my belief that those cultures that don't like dogs should not be trusted.
That's a sneaky way to get a belly rub. :-) Cuteness squared.

Sorry to hear about your best friend Brad. My neighbor lost his golden at age 7 to cancer. Sad.
