Glad there was a good, quick decision made on Mel's part and sure hope the goats can be relocated to caring owner as well.....

Loving the herd life
Darn, too late. I would have loved to have had a dog as great as Mel. I have an English Shepherd but he is not trained. I am glad that Mel has a new home.

As everyone, I'm sure, This loss of one of our family has taken a real emotional toll on me. Not only will we miss his posts and personal attention but, we feel the desire to "help" with all that needs to be done for his beloved animals. It is a huge tribute to the effect LS had on all of us. I hope his family will be able to share in our heart felt loss of their father, our friend.
It was a waiting time when he was not able to post and now, forever. Just darned hard to accept.
I am thrilled that Mel, Joe's team mate and love, is finding another forever home. He is a great dog! Broken hearted as we are, also.
Life isn't always fair.
Let us all take this opportunity to think thru our OWN situations and know that some guidelines/plans have been thought thru and put into place. We never know when that Mac Truck will hit you!! Let's do it in honor of LS...he'd agree. Even if just a guide as to where to go, who to call, for these animals we love. Joe had done much, just not expecting NOW.
Devonviolet, I know you are helping with his son and willingly. But I thank you for that! Joe was here as a "loner", with a LOT of friends. Still, private - and you have been a real support to your "in person" friend. So many of us feel we want to help, just not in the cards. We all just hope for a smooth transition.

I agree 100% with @Mini Horses. Let me add to be sure and leave WRITTEN instructions how to log in with your name and password, to let everyone know what the heck happened to you.

Teresa and I have explicit instructions about disposition of our animals in the case that something happened to one or both of us. I imagine that Joe had those same kind of instructions that makes it easier on our families.

does any one else log on and expect to see what latestarter has posted or what he's doing? this is really hard, and I know i'm not the only one.
@Mini Horses and @Baymule are right, this sure has you thinking about to prepare for yourself and others.

I am SO happy Mel has a new home already. I trust there will be pictures posted here even if the new partner(s) is(are) not currently BYH members.

If they are NOT, they will need to be. We can't lose the whole family!! No, Mel can't go without updates!!! Hope they know that Mel will be "waiting" for Joe to come home and Joe will visit him, in spirit. There will need to be some understanding.
@goatgurl, Yep, lot of us -- it is hard.
