question about Charlie, my Lab...is he whimpering and going to a corner of the house when the family is in another room? He knew Charlie had bad hip and back arthritis and many tumors...we quit removing them after two surgerys due to the stress on his organs. I thought about it and made the call to release him. John took him from me, put him down, and made all of the arrangements without telling me what he did or sending me a single bill...an old school bootstrap veterinary practice owner who was in the business for all of the right reasons. At John's funeral this past December the entire Church was full with overflow into the social hall watching on video. A good ole country boy who lived a life of service.
