Mounty, you are I my prayers. Over the years, my wife and I have had a number of beloved pets that died. We had a female fox terrier named Peppy that we loved dearly. Her death about six or seven years ago really hurt.
But, in His grace, God put another female dog named Cindy that we treasure in our lives. I pray that this one outlives me (I'm 70 yrs old). I don't want to go through that pain again.
