Thanks
I appreciate all the warm thoughts, everybody. I knew that the John Dee community is full of animal lovers, and even though I know I did the right thing, I needed a little reassurance. Even with two energetic boys, the house just is quiet. No paw/claw noises on the hardwood. No bark when the door opens (always gave one deep bark...just in case you didn't know he was there!). Lots of little things.
Thanks again!
