Might be a good idea to open a new thread for that purpose at that point as well.

If needed that will happen, I did not ask the medical examiner any questions about what happened, I'm only concerned with what happens now, I'm with DD on that.

Thought about that but all it would do is buy em a few more days water.




I wasn't aware of that. I'll look into it.

Thanks Kent. Sounds good.

Kent PM your way. Cheers NC

Kent, thank you for engaging this locally. Don't know what else to say at the moment. This path has not been my happiest adventure by a long shot and I'm very poorly located to get directly involved. Not much slows me down, but a couple of time zones and not knowing the local turf is an obstacle.

For what it may be worth, after I called the CCSO and made the request for a wellness check I received a call from the responding deputy. He asked questions about Greg, his routines, vehicle description etc. He was in a bit of a quandary about entering the property as the gate was locked and there is a no trespassing sign. It was about then that Nip came out to great him and apparently the pup was a bit overjoyed. She whined and made stressed dog sounds is the best way I can describe it. Greg's truck was visible and the deputy sounded some sort of loud buzzing horn several times w/o response. I told him to do what he thought best and let him make the call.

He went over the gate with his mic still hot. A few grunts and such, then Nip was all over him, apparently trying to jump up into his arms. He soothed her a bit and eventually I heard him pounding on the door. No response. I asked him if there was any dog food or water outside and he responded that the food bowl was empty and there was a very small amount of water left. He then told me he would call me back, that he was going to search the premises and look thru the windows where he could.

It was about 30-45 minutes later than he called back and told me that Greg had passed. I heard other officers on scene in the background and it was clear from his voice tone that he was a bit stressed, and I did not understand him the first time he told me Greg had passed. He repeated that and told me that Gracie was gone as well, then offered condolences for my loss.

He was an example of one of our finest doing a hard thing well. A salute to him and a farewell to two of my favorites.

With any luck I won't have to do this again. It cut to the core.

Dan;
Thanks once again for doing a most difficult task with grace and style.

You have my undying respect and gratitude for doing so.

Dwayne

Sorry you had to do the dirty work Dan. For what it's worth, Thanks.

Thank you Dan.

Hell of a thing you did, hell of a thing.

You're a good man BD.

Dan, as soon as you have some information on cause of death of both Greg and his dog, many would appreciate hearing it. It's a closure issue.

I was asking for a separate thread to be started when the need for any help is identified.

My mistake, saw another asking about COD and mistakenly quoted yours, I'll delete it.

No problem, the post I quoted had two thoughts in it, I could have been clearer.

Sorry to be so slow, can anyone tell the facts as known?

Ditto.

Sad news all around and we had talked of meeting to "talk shop" but now that will never come to pass...

However Teri and I will be moving our son-in-law to Ft. Irwin early in November (tenth) and will be passing back through Arizona on our way home. Long story short Nip has a home here on the farm with us if one is not found before we come through. Let us know guys or anything else we may be able to help with...Dana and Teri Estes 940-631-2825
