Shadow

Shadow is our wonderful black lab. He was born in 1993, and he is rather aged for a large dog.

We love him very much. Unhappily, he is failing quickly, and I don't know how much longer we will have him with us. His breathing has become labored this evening and his glands are very swollen. I'll have John take him to see Dr. Green tomorrow morning - maybe she can do something to give us more time with Shadow.

I really do love this dog. He has been the sweetest, most faithful dog ever. He is in bed with us tonight, because he asked to come up, and John picked him up and put him on the bed.

How I wish our pets could be with us for as long as we live! Anyway, if you have a lovely dog or cat, give them lots of attention and love.
