Dog people and everyone else. I still have mine - he's seven now, but I tell you I am dreading that day. Unfortunately, I lost my both my parents within the past seven years, so other than my brother and sister I have only Mick. I guess that is part of growing up and older. You have to say goodbye to some of the things you love. It really puts everything into perspective. Think about it - what would you give up to have him back? Although things are nice - especially twin turbo Z's - nothing is like having your family...and I do consider my dog as family! You have my heartfelt condolences, partner!
