Nescafe, I am sorry to hear about your pup.
I made some major life changes in the last year, and now I finally have a dog, which really is the best thing ever. I love him so much. He is a lab mix we got from a rescue as a pup - looks like lab and pittie most likely, which would not be surprising for a southern mutt. I will call him Tramp, but there is someone on the fora with his name, which weirds me out every time they post. Anyway, my life is complete, with the exception of pot holders, because he chewed those up.
