A Dog’s Property Laws
1. If I like it, it’s mine.
2. If it’s in my mouth, it’s mine.

Henry, our cavalier King Charles spaniel, died two weeks ago on September 25th. He had a stroke and was unconscious. The vet said there was nothing that could be done for him so the kindest thing was to put him to sleep so we gave our permission for it to be done.
