Best in Best Show!

This evening, my dear dog Bandit died.  He was at least fifteen and a half, possibly older (I never could get a clear answer from the various people who had him before I).  He was a big old beautiful mutt, the gentlest and sweetest-natured dog I've ever known.  I got to live with him for fourteen years.  He was my dearest and truest and most constant companion.  I will miss him forever.

Sorry. I've been through this and it's the worst. THE WORST.

So so sorry, Sarah. I wish you peace.

Rest in peace, Bandit.

Sarah, I am very sorry for your loss.

[Sarah]

Thank you, everybody.

It's very sad.  I'm sorry.  I have no doubt you were the best partner any doggy could have.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Condolences, Sarah. I too have experienced this and it's awful.

[JonFromMaplewood]

Our dog Margot. The sweater was not my idea.

Sarah, I know we talked about this via twitter, but, still want to post my condolences here. Sorry to hear about your friend. Never easy.

[Steve of Bloomington]

Thank you, everybody.

I'm very sorry to hear about Bandit, I hadn't heard until today.

[Sarah]

One week today. 

Also, I was remiss not to say this earlier: thank you, especially, Big Plastic Head; I know you are grieving, too.

 Sorry for your loss, Sarah and for my tardiness. Maybe I really do need to get on Twitter.

Sorry to hear about your dog, Sarah - just read about it.
