I'm so sorry to hear about Zipp
I know how much he was loved and what an integral part of your pack he had become. You read about a pup in need and stepped up to the plate. It was a beautiful thing you did for him!
Accidents are a horrible thing
Elizabeth lost her old Clarence to drowning as well
Decreased vision was also a factor for him. He had a wonderful last 2 1/2 years with your family.
