Re: [pyrnet] HEALTH, CHAT: Clondike at the Bridge

[JGentzel@aol.com]

When you see and feel others pain at the loss of a special dog like Clondike, 
it is hard not to relate to those who you had the same.  Many years ago when 
we lost our old boy, "Harvey", AKA CH Karolaska Captivator, I could not speak 
of it for years.  I could have never posted like David did.  I just was not 
strong enough to endure the pain it was causing.  

I will never stop to be impressed how this breed of dog can inspire, 
motivate, and capture the hearts and souls of those around it.  History is 
full of those who devoted the lives and fortunes to this magnificent dog.  
Thing is most of us feel like whatever we give to the breed, it is never 
enough.  We know it does and will give us back much more.  
So Clondikes passing causes pain and an ache for many of us, but would we 
have it any different?  This must be what bitter sweet is really about.
