This happened to us when a dog we had died and we replaced her with another as company for the remaining dog.

The friendship of Bhuna and Boris, the episode of the spike in Boris's paw, all of it, and you told it so well. Isn't it so sad the dogs live such short lives? My dog Maxi was abandoned and I saw him running across a highway near Avila. Luckly the highway was not busy. I managed to stop the car and get him.
