Rain, rain go away...
Sorry for your loss. I had a similar experience. I had a very smart 6 year lab that developed cancer in his upper gums. The day I had him put to sleep I took him out to my farm and let him run with me riding the four wheeler. he ran about ten miles and was not ready to come home. I knew That would be his last run because I stopped and got him a sausage biscuit and he could not keep it in his mouth to swallow it. The cancer never weakened him! I now have a soon to be 11 year old Lab that was at a pound and I got him when he was six. Best dog I have ever had. I really think he knows English! We had him two weeks when he figured out that when we put church clothes on he is not going. Those days he just goes in our bedroom and lays down. we don't have to tell him anything.This is our lab Sadie, that dog couldn't speak English but she understood it.
The first pic was taken right after we got her, the 2nd on the last day of her life, she was 10
She had cancer on her leg, we removed it twice, the 3rd time it worked its way up her leg and into her stomach. On her last day I took her to our farm and wore her out and then took her to the vet and put her to sleep. It was a really hard day for me, she was in great shape except for the cancer. She is now buried on our farm by my gate waiting for me to come and visit.

You have some of the very best trained dogs I've ever seen. Congrats to you and your 'helpers'.We don't live far from Mi Tech so we have some homes on our street with students. These kids typically don't have snow blowers or the gumption to properly keep themselves scooped out so I'll run my 6x6 down there and push there snow out.. School was done this week and kids leaving for the summer but yesterday one came by and gave us a basket full of dog treats and a gift certificate for a nicer locale restaurant.View attachment 3387874View attachment 3387876
