Ray _t was very sad to read about Spike,I remember reading some of your list messages about him over the years. He sounded like a great dog. and i'm sure he had a good life with you. 17 years is a long life for a dog, though i know that doesn't make the loss any easier My own dog just turned 14 and its difficult to see how he is aging and slowing down.
