Goodbye Buddy

My wife and I lost our dog buddy Nov. 11, 2003. I am extremely sad because he bit my wife hard while she was walking him. His behaviour was getting worse over time. He was not a "biter". I had a friend who is a vet look at him and was told that he had sore joints, a large lump on his jaw (most likely cancer) and his kidney were painful to touch. I asked her to put him down. She agreed to do it for us, and asked us what we wanted to do with his body. I chose the cheapest option.
