Well that's not the news I wanted to hear to start my morning. Scott was an asset to this forum and the vintage MB community. He's been missed.

I Took Apart The Valve Body And Don't Know How It Goes Back Together

RIP

That is sad news. Other than the constant suffering has passed.He was an asset to life itself. Trying to keep going in the kind of condition he was in. Was in reality exceptional. Yet the price was just too great.

His struggle was also many faceted. Not adaquate income possibly lifelong to even meet essentials needs easily. Plus the constant suffering. Yet he was not seriously depressive as he still did things for others . When he could.

Over fifty thousand people land up dead because of no access to medical treatment each year. Or in all probability a far greater number through deferred care as well because of the medial costs primarily in America.







.

Always enjoyed his posts, seemed like a great guy and valuable member of the community, RIP.

Bye Scott.
In heaven you will find all of your dogs waiting for you.
All fluids are lifetime and none of them leak.
There is no rust.
So you can now rest in peace.....

This was not the update to this thread that I had been hoping for when I saw it resurface. He was taken too young and too soon, May he rest in peace.

Will they shed like they did when alive ? .

God knows I've loved every dog I've had but the shedding means I only put them in the car to go to the Vet. as necessary, never for fun rides .

Yes, but you won't mind.


I find hairs from my Alaskan malamute in the S350 that I acquired a year after we buried her.
