Sherman #369 He is gone.

[cyber-sibes]

Pat - I am on the phone with Carrie right now - and she is going to post a notice @ the dog park about you and Sherman.
Hugs and lots of love on the way...

Thanks, Staci. I wondered how to let our friends at the park know, although when I saw this, I cried. I so don't want this to be happening.

We're still waiting to hear something, nothing yet. Sherman had a really really good night. We doted on him yesterday, and gave him a nice long massage. He seemed to relax quite a bit and his breathing improved. That was good, cause he was looking a little bluish..he got nice & pink again. Then I gave him a nice luxurious brushing. You can see how much he enjoyed it, (I stopped to give him a hug).
I wish I hadn't pitched the huge bags of his fur I saved from last year. He's almost done shedding, but I'm saving what I can now to have it spun. Maybe there will be enough for a potholder, lol! well, if there is enough to have a small square knitted, I can center it on a throw pillow or something.

He surprised the heck out of me about an hour ago - I was starting to post an update, heard a sound, and couldn't believe my eyes - he came up two flights of stairs to come see me! He was completely exhausted, though, and couldn't catch his breath. After about 10 minutes, we went back downstairs. He's still winded, I stayed with him till his breathing leveled out, and now he's resting in front of a fan.

JoJoe & I want you all to know how much your posts mean to us - we're both reading them. To think Sherman has touched so many lives, it's humbling. We love you guys, too.
