Zack - anyone that knows me knows that I love all of the older dogs. They just get to me. When we adopted Buddy our black lab, we were told he was 8-10 years old. When I met Zack earlier in 2011, he was 13. Of course, I was instantly in love. I got to see him several times over the course of about 6 months but unfortunately over the holidays he lost his battle with kidney failure. Rest in peace sweet boy. I think Sloan must've been waiting for him when he arrived in heaven.
