This sounds wonderful! Ty, hero #980 lives on Cape Cod. Unfortunately Vermont is a bit too far for me to come and also carry out my responsibilities. Hate that I will miss it! Julie

Oh I would love to bring our 9yo golden…who recently had a melanoma tumor and affected lymph node removed…he is loving life and sucking the marrow out of each day. Hoping for many more days like these. Goldens are the best.
