Is your dog just a dog now that you're older.

This type of a thread makes me sad. Yeah, it sucks that they only live a short life and they do not outlive us. I would prefer to have my dogs outlive me, along with everybody I love. That way, I wouldn't have to feel any grief, but that just ain't the way it goes.

My wife and I cry whenever we think about having to part with Nitro in the future. Granted, he is only 3 human years old, but I was crying about it when he was 6 months old. So, I am going to try and make the best of it while he is still here. Now, I'll make sure I give him a hug before I go to sleep.
