    New to your videos. Thank you for mentioning the importance of our veterans, not just the million dollar homes in the villages. Nothing is more valuable than your Gridley

    Losing a dog just sucks. There are no words that can ease the pain, only time. Go easy on yourself, give it time, and life will get better. Know that he had a great life with you, and unfortunately, dogs live short lives. Don't close the door on getting another dog. The years of joy and fulfillment they bring us far outweigh the pain at the end.

    So very sorry for your loss. It sounds like your dog had an amazing life with you.
    I lost my dog two years ago, and I was heartbroken. He was the best. I have a new dog now; and he will never replace the old one, but he's a special guy too. I love him so much also.
    Dogs are full of unconditional love. They make the world a better place!

    Gridley lived his best life with you, and now he is at the Rainbow Bridge, healthy & chasing squirrels again. When Gridley was barking in the video, my dog Josie perked up & watched the video quite intently. May memories of Gridley be a blessing for you.

    I remember the video about Marion bringing Gridley into your life to help you before she passed. That was so touching! I'm very sorry to hear that Gridley's gone. You were the best dad he could have asked for.
    And thank you for your service on this Memorial Day.
