    I only knew Amy from the dog park, but always enjoyed chatting with her when she and Mongo were there–throwing and chasing balls. My heart goes out to her family. I am so sorry for your loss.

    Oh Nancy and Troy ~ I am so very sorry. Life is so much harder than it should be. Corey is ill right now, but he may want to contact Troy when he is better. Please be gentle with yourselves and know that others care.

      If someone in the family wants me to take Mongo, just say the word… you got my email… I know Mongo as much as Amy did…
      Sorry once again for your loss, I don’t even know what to say… Just learned of this today.
