Just stay focused on all the good times you had with that dog and all the times the dog made you laugh or smile.

Thanks Crius. I've lost them before of course but her loss has been particularly difficult. She and her sister who passed some 3 years previously came into my life at a particularly dark
time so long ago and since that time we saw, did and experienced a lot. It's true as some friends pointed out with them came limitations and responsibilities but i'd have those times
again in a heartbeat. It's been said that you don't fully appreciate a thing until it's gone; I'm proud to say I knew what I had from the first days with those two but sadly it doesn't make
the sting of that loss, the loss of something unique any easier to take. I am grateful that fate chose us to cross paths.

​​​​​​Oh yeah, I really love what you're doing here. I like it so much, you almost have me convinced to try 1/10 scale.
Well you know that I think 1/10 is just the bee's knees...To be honest I think all tank scales are pretty spiffy but I don't know how the 1/6 guys mange a large tank.
Lugging that stuff outside then back in wasn't fun. The tanks weigh 80 and 30 pounds( that Hetzer has a steel upper/lower hull), the Kaelble 50 pounds( you wouldn't think it
but the tires are one of the heaviest parts as they are solid rubber) and the trailer about 35-40. That's heavy enough for me.
