Glad you got your water heater working again.

Sorry you lost Lucy. We are veteran doggy lovers too. Beebee was our first. A blonde Tibetan Terrier we had for 16 years. She has been gone more than 10 years and I still miss her terribly. Then we adopted Buddy a Shih Tzu & Sissy an Imperial Toy Shih Tzu from a rescue shelter. Buddy passed away within 2 years and was so lovable, Sissy stayed loving us for 8 years and I cried like a baby when she died. I swore I would never get another dog because it hurt to much to see them go. After more than a year my wife kept after me to get another dog. She found an add in the paper where someone was selling Shih Tzu puppies and insisted we go look. I didn't want to but went to please her. There were 3 puppies left from this AKC litter, two girls and a boy. I tried to be uninterested but soon I was on the floor with my wife trying to decide which one to buy. Each was cuter than the next. We took home both girls as the boy was already spoken for or he would have gone with us also. That was 10 years ago. 3 years ago we rescued another Shih Tzu from another shelter then took in a Maltese puppy because a relative had to go into an assisted living facility that didn't allow pets. We now have all 4. Baily, Bella, Baxter and Buster. I love them so much I just can't describe it here. Each one has a unique and remarkable personality different than the rest.
Yes I know about the heartache from loss of our furry kids. But I also know now the wife was right. The best thing I ever did was get more puppies to fill the void in my heart.
ps. Please don't tell my wife I said she was right.
