    1ST off...let me be clear.
    I do not post this looking for 3 pages of 'CyberSympathy'...
    ..and I almost put it in 'off topic'..
    ..but the more i thought about it ...
    ..the more I realized how 'On Topic' it was!!;)

    I know the only person that probably noticed I wasnt around for a few days ..was Stormin;)

    but heres why..

    About 11 years ago on a cold November night..
    in a 72 Ford LTD wagon..:D
    Stovebolt and I went and picked up a 'dog'..that I had found abandoned a few days earlier at our local dragstrip...some arsehole decided to JUST leave it there!

    the day i found her..I took her for a ride in my 69 Falcon wagon...
    she loved it !!

    To make a veeeery long story shorter...
    the point is....My dog..."KISKY"...went everywhere with me...carshows, drive ins, you name it...everywhere!!...
    ....Everything I own...is covered in white dog fur!!!:D

    She was the most consistent thing in my life ..for the last 11 years!

    She was diagnosed a couple of months ago with 'stage 2 diabetes'..
    even with Insulin and all the other crap...she went blind.. and was losing her controls.
    Sunday night after picking up my newest addiction..I took her for ride in it..
    ...that night she got bad.

    Monday night..I took her to the Vet...made the Vet come out to my Wagon..and do the deed in the back of the wagon.!!
    I couldnt stand the thought of her last thoughts being..'where am i?'
    And the Wagon was where she most at home.

    I spent the next 2 days crying like a 6 year old girl..and am getting weepy eyed as I type...I'm a wuss:oops:

    SOO..not looking for sympathy!!..and I dont mean to get all sappy;)

    Just a simple point...."a boy and his dog and their Wagon!"..

    ....Nothing is a truer truth !!...:cry:

    RIP puppy!

    Rev sorry to hear about your dog,that doesn't mean you are a wuss. I know you have a lot of good memories with your best friend riding in your wagon.

    Hey! Enchiladas put hair on a good shot of Tequila! ;)

    You'd think dogs have a sixth sense to eat what makes them healthy and vendors would be careful to ensure they get the right stuff, not melamine powders mixed in with the dog chow. :(

    Rev, sorry to hear about the loss of Kisky. I had to put down our cat last year and it was tough as she was with us for 15 years. I still remember picking her up in my mom's Subaru wagon and I brought her to the vet for the last time in my Volvo wagon.

    Rev she was a beauty. Wish mine would take to riding. I might have to get him a girlfriend and get her use to it to make him ride more.
