Tragic Uwharrie overnighter.

It's amazing how much a dog can mean to a person, isn't it? They literally become family. I feel for you!

Ah, that suxors! At least Nube got to run around some awesome scenery before he chased the giant tail in the sky!!!

The best people I have known in my life had four legs, a waggy tail and a fur coat.
Nube is chasing all the rabbits he want now.
Take care.
I need to go hug my dog.

Tears for a friend should never be fought.
I'm real sorry for your loss. Wish it didn't have to be.

BTW... I'll bet Nube would want you to finish your goal of an overnighter each month in 2010.

Hey man. I am soooo unbelievably sorry to hear this. My old girl won't make it much longer....I think about it daily.

Here's to prayers for healing for each of you. Sure sounds like that dog was loved!

Really sorry to hear this , well wishes sent your way.

I am so sorry to hear about this. I'm sure you guys loved Nube as much as I love my dogs.
Although, it was a short life, I have no doubt that Nube had a better life than most dogs, traipsing through the woods with his master, playing in the creeks, and dozing by the campfire. Because of you, he lived a dream that few dogs can.
You have my sincere condolences.

ABSOLUTELY ... and I bet he'd would be proud if'n you fellers "marked" a few trees in his honor along the way!
