I totally understand what your saying Jim. When I was around 12 I had this ole mutt I named Poncho. I loved that dog more than anything in the world. The problem was we lived on the busest street in Decatur. One day I was out bird hunting around the neighbor (You could bird hunt in those days without someone calling the police to you).I'm sure you can guess the rest of the story ole Poncho run out in front of a car a got killed. I was totally devastated and I made my self a vow that I would NEVER get that attached to another animal ever again. I have had many different dogs,horses,cats and cattle but i do not allow myself to become to attached to them. Some lessons you learn early in life you never forget. thumbup

If you always do what you've always done you always get what you've always got
