Oh Chatty, it melts my heart. What a wonderful ending.

My Great Dane, Zeke, weighed 215 lbs and at the same time I had an English Mastiff named Bertha who weighed in at 208. Huge feed bills and they would sleep in the family room. When they had gas...well...that's 423 lbs of gas! I will never own a large dog again because they don't live very long and it breaks your heart. Zeke went downhill after Bertha died. Really sad to watch.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story.
