For Tink!!

I was just wanting to tell you that a friend of mine stopped by today. She use to live right down the road, but divorced her husband and moved with her family to Kentucky. She was here in Indiana for a visit when her sister called and said that her Golden Retriever Desi, tried jumping the fence and hung himself.

I guess the ground is really hard where she lives...so she drove 3 hours home to get Desi and then 3 hours back up here and had her ex bury him on the farm. After this task was done, she stopped by for a visit.

This must be more common than one would like to think. I immediately told her about your loss. She is very distraught, but still has another dog to take care of and as you know that helps quite a bit.

I just wanted to share it with you since I knew you'd understand her grief.
