Awhile back, and it may have been on the old boards. Someone asked why you chose your Avatar.
I told the story of my late dog Daisy, and was encouraged to not change it.

Well today I did, and I feel I need to mention why.

We have has two dogs for the last few years, a shy Border Collie named Dibley, and a Giant Schnauzer name Lucy. They got along for about two weeks and than Lucy began attacking Dibley.
We have separated the house to keep the apart and up till last night it worked.
The problem is the Lucy is very scared by firecrackers and gunshots. My wife and I made sure the barrier between them was secure, and had given Lucy some calming medicine before we left to attend our usual New Years Eve party. (And I'm sure you may guess where this is going.)

Well when we returned home we found Lucy had torn down all the barriers in her reaction to either firecrackers, or folks in our neighborhood shooting off guns. And there in our bedroom was Dibley, bloody and dead.

This was a horrible way to start the New Year. Now we have to bury one dog, and probably have to put down the either. So to male a short story long I have changed my Avatar in Dibley's honor.

Thank you for letting me tell this story. Every time I email someone or write a post like this it helps sooth the hurt.

Write now DVD's seem trivial.

I can only hope your Year started off better, and as I keep telling myself, It can only get better later this Year!!!
