Tom Boblittabove.  I'd never had a dog until about 3 years ago and we now have a 12 pound mini schnauzer.  We hope we have a lot of time left but it will be a VERY difficult day when something happens to her.  My folks are still mourning the loss of a cat from a couple years ago.  Tough breaks but you can't have them linger on and suffer.  Days like today cards don't really mean a lot.........
