Hi guys.

I brought Vinny to the vet to be put down. She said he probably had a brain tumor and he needed to rest. We had 13 great years together!

RIP, Vinny! :salute:

Sorry to hear Ruf.... not a fun day that's for sure. That is one trip I don't like to make. I've made them in the past and it's a long drive home....

Take care!

Thanks, guys.

We'll be fine. He didn't know who he was or where he was. So, now he waits for me upstairs!

They say crying is good for you - I hope so!  :)

Vinny rode in my '03 Mach1 and '07 GT - - I had to put a sofa cushion on the passenger floor so he could stretch out!

He also rode in my: '98 F-150, '01 Miata, '01 Ranger, '04 Volvo, and '05 350Z! :rockon:

My posse at the Bank has my back - I've got 3 Christmas dinner invites! So much food, so little time!

Sorry to learn about Vinny. After a couple dozen such partings - it doesn't get any easier. But I'd never do without a canine companion or three.
