Thanks everyone, it's going to take quite some time to get used to not being greated everytime I walk in the door but with time we all heal.

Mike, Sorry for your loss. Our dog has become a huge part of our lives I can't even imagine things without him. You are in our thoughts:(

Hey Mike, sorry for your loss of your pet man, we know how they become part of the family, we told you about our older guy, hes a bionic dog now, just to keep him goin, cant imagine loosin him, our thoughts and prayers are with ya
K&A

well this is my thought ! pets are super cool part of youre life , you get them when there young and watch them grow and surpass you in age, , hopefully , i always love the younger years the most but charish the tru love a pet will show you ! youre best friend , but with most people, as you go through life youre friends will eventually have to go ! only opening the door for a brand new friendship to emerge , as for me a truely great adventure through life as we know it . its time for a new friend , with a totally new attitude !:evilb:

Mike, I am sorry for your loss.
