Dawn, I was so sorry to hear about Robert. I could not believe, when I was told, that he was gone. I immediately thought about you and the puppies. My heart hurts and hopes you can find some comfort in the good times you had together. He certainly touched a lot of lives with his great sense of humor. Please know that we are thinking about you and our prayers are with you during this very painful time in your life.
