My condolences as well here, Chy and Di.
Chy, you might remember the Southwest Triumph Fest's canine greeter/mascot equivalent to your Grrr there, named Moose.
Well, we had to put good ol' Moose down just a couple days before this past Christmas. Sure took a lot of the fun out of that holiday for Judie and I, alright.
Moose also made it to age 16. And so, I know how you two are feelin' right about now.
