GUEST POST from Don – Saying Good-Bye
SAYING GOOD-BYE(to Annie) She had a very good life, albeit confusing for a one-owner type of dog. It was not that we had not done as much as we could to ease her 17-year life. We had. As a younger dog she would jump up onto our bed. That was a 4-dog jump and she did it easily. It …

GUEST POST from Don – Ghost Cabin (chapter 6)
