Danny,

Susan and his parent have seen this.

Randy knew about the urns as he asked me to get FJMonkey an URN as well. The week after the 2016 Fall rally when he stayed with us he and I spoke about the URN's. A week later, he called and asked if my youngest stepson was sexually active yet and had he been vaccinated. He then asked that the lesson of HPV and his learning it had a vaccine not be forgotten, hence I put it and his photo together with the message and the outdoor rated decal and we have the combined end product, he  had pre-approved before he passed.

Susan is attempting to attend the fall rally for a few days during the week.

We look forward to seeing you and everyone there soon.

Dave

Quebert passed today. I took him in after Randy passed and tried to provide him a home with my dogs and family. I should have done a better job. He is buried beside my home and is missed by my family.

Aww, man....

Dave, I'm glad you wound up with the dog, taking him in was a nice thing to do. One of my favorite pics from recent rallies is Randy sitting at a table with Andrew, in the shade at Tellico Beach.

Missed you at Boone, which was full of rally dogs - including Andrew's Goose. Andrew left before I got there Friday night (a bachelor party and two weddings that weekend in Raleigh) so I got the dog for the weekend.

aww bummer.  Good for you Dave taking care of him.  Sorry to hear but as I remember he was pretty old when Randy adopted him.  He was a funny little dog with that crazy underbite and about 5 teeth.  Reminded me of a grumpy old man.

DR.GTS.DUCATI.FAZER Dave

Danny, thanks.  he was as you recall. He got off the leash and wandered downhill, ie. sloped yard into the creek where he drowned.

My wife shed a few tears and I felt horrible, I always shed tears when I loose a family pet.
