@JimboBBN , we don't have any pets right now. My dog made it to 15 years old and I had to have her put down. She was having seizures a lot and she never came back from her last one. It was actually on Christmas morning 4 years ago.
I always said I wouldn't cry when she died, but I cried. I am a big pussy.
Here are a couple of pictures of her and the runaway cat.
Those were taken about 2 months before she died. My wife knows an artist in town that does animals. She had him do one of my dog. I just took a picture of the picture. Haha.
I want to get a dog, but I will have to just get one and bring it home without telling my wife. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
