I can't help you either, but I agree- it would take more than a lack of oxygen for me to part with my dogs too!Def
Not to derail this topic, but this is something I have thought about for a long time- are dogs really loyal? Folks talk about a dog's love being unconditional and so on, but the reality is that dogs really have a psychological need for companionship, so do they really need/love us, or are we just an emotional crutch for them? And, if that's the case, are we really being fair to them by exploiting a blind spot? We may not be the greatest friends to them, but then do they care about us or do they need us to fill that void in their wiring?The onbly answer I can give to all of that is that the causes may not matter, when the effect is the kind of bond that dogs have with real dog people like us. Dogs is the best people, and used dogs is the best dogs.Def
