Cass, thank you for your thoughts, but Speedy wasn't good with children. He may have been in his younger days, but he has many sore spots. You could not pick him up or pet him below the neck without him biting you.

Speedy went to Rainbow Bridge at 10:40am this morning. He was so stoked to see his mom and dad. He was just beside himself. He died very happy. It was very difficult though. My MIL went into hysterics. We had to carry her out of there. I hope she feels better soon.
