I love you Brody and Hershey, two of the best race dogs anyone could ask for. Thanks to all of you who have asked about Brody since he became ill. Jim

Jim, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Back in 2010 when my super-dog Mr. Beasley fell ill around the Indy time, you were very nice in your comments.

I named the dakota after him when it was being reborn as a superstocker, and put a photo of him @ age 15 on the tailgate. He now does wheelies with me, and made the truck priceless. Like Brody he held on for much longer than expected, even bounding up to a week before he passed.

You will never forget your dogs, sounds like you are the luckiest of people, to have not one super dog in your lifetime, but two, you might just find a third......

Sorry to hear that Jim. I know how hard it is to loose one of your pets. I have one older dog that I am not looking forward to the day I have to say good bye to him. he is healthy now but getting up in years.

Best wishes my friend.
