My Dog "Jax" passed away today.

Oh Dan, that's terrible to hear and my heart really does go out to you. My last dog loss was so bad that I'm not even sure of when I would even want another one. Buy I'll tell 'ya . . . . I've personally never had a Black Lab in particular but I know several people that only had just simply awesome things to say about them. I'll leave you with this . . . . . I have one friend that was so close to his Black Lab before it passed that he named his first-born child after that dog! His wife, whom he met after the dog's passing, still has no idea that her child is named after a dog and I'm not gonna be the one to ever tell her!

----Dan,,,Jan and I never had kids so pets seem to sort of gain even more prominence with us. I am right there with you. You wont have a day you wont think of him. But dont worry, they will all be GOOD thoughts of the many wonderful times your family had with him, and even more important, all the good times he had with you and yours. In relation to Marks post, Terry Carney, may God rest his soul, loved one of his dogs (Shantzy) so much he named his daughter after that dog. Caring and loving has no boundries.......Bill S
