great pics...thanks for sharing in these tough times you are experiencing...worst thing about owning a dog---they become a huge part of the family and you know that you will outlive them...take solace in the fact that he was a loved part of a "pack"and you fullfilled his life, however short it may have been, by hunting him and loving him...i don't think that he or any one else for that matter would complain about the "quality" of life you gave him. i myself would take quality over quantity any time
