Yes, I know :O( Small dogs live longer than a giant like the Wolfhound...and it is always so, so hard to say good bye to a friend (..and I really aren't good at it...although I've only had small animals like birds and Guinea pigsI cry for weeks)

Hi Jackie!

They are so amazing...soo soft and so quiet - giant and gentle!
