Thanks for the nice notes guys...I know exactly how Becky feels too, since I lost a dog (my best friend too) a couple years ago. I feel really bad, but I guess this is just life. Dakota had a wonderful life with a great mom, and I'm glad Becky got to spend all those great years with Becky. I bet Bandit and Dakota are playing up in heaven right now...at least they're both out of pain. That always consoles me.
