Hi Bigpic,
I'm sorry you lost your good friend yesterday. I'm sure you provided a good life for your dog and received unrelenting love in return.
Your panic points were hilarious (only in retrospect for you, I'm sure) and reminded me of my first time parachuting when I froze while grasping onto the wing of the plane, or the time I lost my balance on a water ski jump ramp.
Thanks for all your TA and, most of all, your honesty.
