well, i do know how you feel ... hang in there with the little critter. We had to put our Dane down couple of months ago. He was more like a human than a dog, and we were very very close to him. Our buddy and friend. I have tears in my eyes just thinking about the great times we had with our Great Dane...he truly was.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
