And if I could ask for some Vibes of Comfort and Condolence for my friend, Andy. When I got home tonight, I got this email from him:
"We put copper down tonite. He had a very large mass in his abdomen which was causing him to bleed internally. The only way that I can look at is that he had 4 very good years, which might not have been available to him had I not adopted him."
Copper was a Rhodesian Ridgeback, and due to Andy's current living situation, truly the only friend and companion he had. I'm not a "dog person", but I know how much Andy loved Copper, and I just feel bad that I can't be there right now to give him a hug.
