I know what Conrad meant.

My FIL's Dachshund was 16 or 17, living on their farm out of Hathaway, MT when he went hunting one day and never came home.
Snake, owl, hawk, eagle, coyote, fox, trapped in a hole or a roll of wire, heart attack, or just all wore out, laid down and died(unlikely).

I know what we hoped for.

Still pulling for Scout and you, Rick.
