Thanks guys, I love hearing people with similar experiences and all the stories. I realize that I had a good run with her and it is rare that I bond with a dog like I did that one. The funny things is, when I got her, I just wanted a dog to put in my back yard to keep an eye on things. The next thing I know, she's in the house, sleeping in my bed. What a sweetie. It still bothers me a bit that it was mostly a financial decision, but the vet was talking monthly meds in the range of $100-$300 and I just couldn't do it. Of course I get the stinkin Orvis Pet Catalog in the mail as soon as we get back and it has yellow lab pups all through the darn thing...It didn't help.
