Do I have your permission to feel like a blithering idiot now. Even with you literally spelling it out, I still didn't see what you were saying ... I mean, geeze, Fire? and I couldn't get "fire on the bedroom carpet ..." out of mind.

I'm walking a lot more and better than I was. The cane hasn't yet become a nuisance but I tend to carry it rather than letting it keep me up. 'Course, once in a while I'll trip over something (a grain of sand?) and the cane is real handy for keeping me upright!

Well, it's time to close this thread. I talked to the lady who's been watching Zeus for me and she'd like to keep him (mutual decision.) He's happy with her and her dogs ... another shepherd and a 'mutt' at least.

I didn't want him in the first place but Chuck kept insisting that Zeus was my dog and he wasn't going to breed any more ... I won't go into the chaos he caused here, but even at that he's a good dog ... I just don't want / can't handle three dogs when one of them is still virtually a puppy (and I'm still recovering from a broken hip).

Zeus is now Echo and I'm sadder than I can imagine....

I'm so sorry, Al. You tried. And - he has a good home so that something. I'm finding, despite missing Z'ev incredibly, life is much easier with 1 dog. Especially 1 old dog.

And. I've decided getting old sucks at times.

Hugs to you.

That sucks im sorry
