COAL - by Don
Hi there. It's Don. And I'm not a dog. I didn't think it was appropriate for another dog to write about this. And given how much I loved Coal, I didn't think it was appropriate to skip or gloss over it. We lost Coal on July 19th. He was almost 13. We'd had him...

ALWAYS A HEAD RUB FOR A GOOD DOG - by Max
