Now that you mention it, Lisi... When our Blaze (an AKC registered Shelty, good house dog, good watch dog) died about 6 years back, he was such a part of the family I wanted to get another. But Dee, my bride of 26 years now also understood that it was a lot of work she with her copd, no longer felt like doing, she took him to the vet, and to be shampooed and groomed. I still miss him, and while he was "it was always there" fed, if I got out a bowl of anything, I could count on him sitting beside my chair in sphinx position because he knew he'd get to lick the bowl. And it took me about a year to quit putting my ice cream or cereal bowls on the floor when I was done. I'd only been doing it for a decade. Old habits...
