You have my deepest sympathies, Nia and JY.(WARNING: very long and tragic tale upcoming) I am a true animal lover, and recently lost one of my favorite dogs ever, named Sneakers. She was a little black cocker, and she was in the '74 Lincoln when my cool-as-hell old school Pennsylvanian stepfather went over a 200 ft. cliff on a mountain road in Southern California in 1994. My stepfather was killed in the accident, but Sneakers somehow miraculously survived, with only a broken leg. When I drove to where my Mother lived to see her and Sneakers for the first time after the accident, I will never forget the sight of that cute little black dog happily running toward me, ears flopping and hobbling along clumsily on her full front leg cast. At the same moment I saw My mother's face, and it was one of the most painful and bittersweet moments of my life. (sorry about this, really) The saddest part is that I have been living in Minnesota for the last 4 years, and have not been able to get back to Cali to see my mother or my sisters or my dog, and late last year Sneakers was diagnosed with inoperable cancer and died several months later. Dogs and cats have always been integral in my life, and it is really difficult to lose them, yet they add so much to our lives that it has to be worth it. I have not told this story to anyone in quite a while, and I apologize for using this board 'therapeutically'. But I did warn you!

My condolences to all who've recently lost loved ones. Critters add a wonderful element to our short lives on this spinning orb. Just back from a week backpacking somewhat near your neck of the woods Noitall: Olympic National Park - pure paradise. Immediately out of the woods only to find out a good friend of mine Jim "Big Daddy" Lynch died of a massive heart attack at the age of 34. Missed the wake and funeral. Arrggh... Whatever your pleasure, please toast one to the memory of this kind soul.

Whoa that is sad to hear, Fire. My condolences. Sorry about your bro. I have lost a few of those myself. Makes losing a pet seem a bit less traumatizing. And DAMN! A heart attack at 34. Tragic. ::raises a glass of Michelob::
