I'm really sorry about your friend. I hate this disease too. I refuse to let it kill me-that's partly why we're here right? To not let it.Can't be alone in this.I hope they come back and try again.I'll never forget when I went to my first A.A meeting and they had a moments silence for the 'still suffering alcoholic' and I burst into tears(and I'm not a crier-big surprise-I know)
I'll think of them.
That aside-Buddy is a lovely dog.Take good care of him.They're loyal to a fault and a reminder of everything good in this world too.
Jules.
