^^^ Respect. Totally know how that goes.
A few years ago, I lost my first dog Vegas to a heart attack – she was only three years old and had an amazing personality full of life, playfulness, energy, full of bitchiness very similar to myself.
My husband and I currently have our little dog Piglet and our big dog Diesel (Who, despite being a picnic's, is an absolutely huge pussy); the two are absolutely fantastic and I cannot live without either of them.
They often hang out at my home gym with me when I lit and are awesome running partners, and are probably the number one reason I don't get more work done
