Thanks guys...

I just had a gourami that quit on me literally. it had popeye and I was
coming home with some medecine... too late... I am still battling Ich but
I thing the worse is gone for now.

Damn fish like them too much.


I just had to have my dog put down. That is FAR WORSE. She was nearly 15.
Losing fish stinks but not as bad to me as losing a dog. It's like losing
a kid to me.

This might sound pretty fu*ked up but losing my dog was more traumatic on me
than losing my mother. I never cried so hard in my life.

Oh Tom,

I'm so sorry for your loss! They leave such huge holes when they go.

Thanks. This hole will take a while to repair that's for sure.

I put mine down when she was 17.5, probably 5 years ago now. I still miss
her every day. But, and I know this is a very personal choice, I got a new
dog almost right away. I didn't plan to, but the house felt so empty
without her. I was such a basket case, I had to try something. I got a lot
of comfort out of the new dog.
