Wow, 12 years both!
It so often seems like yesterday.
How long did you have the Dal?
11+ years. At the time,longer than I’d had my two oldest kids. I’ve thot about getting another one but it would be like your spouse dying so you go out and marry someone that matches his description perfectly. Outside might be the same, but the inside is what matters.
Stupid to hurt this much over a dog. Stupid dogs! In a perfect world, they’d live as long as we do.
