Dusty was truly the glue that bound our family together.  He provided constant companionship, love and laughs for 14 wonderful years.  He saw my brother an I grow from our early teens to adulthood...and helped my parents deal with an empty nest when we went to college.  Dusty had this little trick that he and I would to for friends and neighbors...he could "do" math...and we would amaze friends and relatives often!  He was so smart that he figured out how to unlock his crate from the inside...providing much confusion for my parents as to who forgot to put Dusty in his "den".  I know I confided many things to Dusty, and he would listen and provide peace and comfort during difficult times...I will greatly miss my "little brother".  Love you Dusty...
