After 13+ Years of Love, Friendship and Loyalty

I had to have my Boston Terrier, Casey, put to sleep this morning. Over the years he developed a collapsed trachea, then he lost his eye sight in 2012. Despite that, people always said he acted like he didn't know he was blind. Then more recently he was diagnosed with pancreatitis and that combined with everything else finally got the best of him.

After crying most of the time since returning home, I know I will do better each day but I am lost at this moment.

I am lucky my dad was a member

Of a labor union. I grew up in the 1950s and unions were healthy and strong then. I still support all unions except those of police unions. Their spokesmen are as ruthless as he NRA. They'll get what they deserve.
