A hard and sad news. I am so sorry my friend. A big hug of encouragement and strength.

Erik Stokkebye 4th Gen Evening Flake (home stoved) in an Altinay meerschaum Dublin.
Good afternoon. Smoking a bowl of St. Bruno, in a bent MM General. Accompanied by a few shots of bourbon. 
Thank you, it is both hard and sad.
My acquaintance, the renown gunsmith Ted Yost summed it up as best as any:
“For all the companionship, fun, and unconditional love we get from our dogs, there's a steep price to be paid. We nibble away at it, trying to return all they share with us, but we fall short. On their last day, when it's time to take them for that final ride, that debt gets paid. And it's hard.”
Passing the half way mark on this bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.

Totally agree with your narration. It gets bitter, weird, and dark, when you lose such noble friends, who give their lives for you.
Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Lunch follows this smoke.
I wasn't looking when we went there. I was just following the others. It was a place on Franklin Street. I used to spend a lot of time in Chapel Hill when I was dating cheerleaders in my college days, but businesses have changed a lot since then.What burger joint? That is my neck of the woodsWas it Al's burger shack?
Thanks! It is indeed. I've been happy with mine.

Swr out of an AGovem commission. I must’ve run at least a couple hundred bowls through this pipe but it’s not coloring much yet so far.

The more I think about it, I think I have been there a long time ago, and if so, it was great. It's a stand alone restaurant with a yellow sign and black lettering, right?It’s on Franklin near the Carrboro line. It’s also really friggin good

Enjoyed a tasty tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a golden delicious apple on the side. I'm back on my diet after this. Nearing the last third of this bowl of year 2000 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.
Merry Monk is good! strong!!
Yes! Al is a true native also, went to high school with him.
