so sorry to hear of everyones recent losses of beloved companions,,,,the bible [can i say that here]????says the amimals were given to us for food, clothing ,,AND ENJOYMENT. they really become as much a part of our family as our kids,,,they are our kids. i've got an 16 year old feist-dawg that i've got to do the humanitarian thing with,,,, my wife won't let her go though, so i give her 2 insulin shots per day, chase her down and bring her in when she gets lost in yard[blind], and fix her the good stuff to eat.[broiled chicken breasts]. it's always sad to loose an integral part of your famiily......best wishes.......lester
