He crossed the rainbow bridge

I'm so sorry for your loss, genuinely. Dogs, pets really, are such a deep part of our lives that losing them is heartbreaking.

If I were to get another dog, it would definitely be a rescue one to save them from being destroyed as with Baron. The problem now is number one. I don’t want one right away cause I don’t want. I still am hurting from him. It’s too soon also he adapted to the fact I was gone a lot to visit my wife in a nursing home and I don’t wanna get another dog and immediately leave him for a long period of time in a strange house so it’s gonna be a gradual process, but even at my age chances are there will be another canine in the house I’ve had them all my life and they’re just part of me especially now and again thank you for all your kind comments

Not an easy spot you are in with your wife in a nursing home. I wonder if you could take a fully grown adopted rescue in the car with you when you visit your wife? Might make the separation from your new friend a little easier.

And thank you for your invaluable service to our country.
