Glad Echo had pretty much lived out his life expectancy for his breed -- no doubt your love and excellent care had something to do with it. :)<br /><br />Did you hear that Laura Hamor's dog McGee died too?

We're sad, but we've been sharing our almost-fifteen-years' worth of happy memories with each other. Shelties' life expectancy is 12-15 years, so he had a long, happy life. His only complaint was when I gave him icky-tasting pain pills.Barbara Etlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190731838738606727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288695458328961236.post-78252837721820501372016-02-29T13:23:42.198-05:002016-02-29T13:23:42.198-05:00What an amazing dog, Barb.
