For me, it was a Rottweiler. I was blessed to have two. Loyal to the hilt.
Both are gone now :wah:

I always wanted a chocolate lab. One with a championship bloodline that I could train and work with. When I turned 40 I got what I wanted. 3 years later and not only is he my best friend, but he's passed 2 masters trials and has his Master Hunter certification.
Roux's a good boy.

Another advocate for Dog Food Advisor.
My male Rottie seemed to be allergic to everything, but did well with Victor Ocean Fish dry dog food. He passed away last summer after 10yrs and 2m :( My female rottie did fine with Diamond Naturals All Chicken and Rice Formula when she was younger, swapped her to Diamond Naturals Senior Chicken, Egg and Oatmeal Formula in her elder years. I just had to put her down New Year's Eve morning after 11 yrs and 10m :(

"Boy, isn't this the truth. Most of my "friends" have stopped reaching out to me to do things since I don't drink anymore.
I'm 8 weeks without alcohol now. It was time. I drank nearly every day, but it could range from a single beer to almost a fifth of bourbon.
Here's what I've noticed:
- I'm not tired any more. I'm awake and alert all day long and don't have this feeling of being sleepy or tired during the day.
- I've lost weight. Not only am I losing weight since I'm not drinking those empty calories, but I'm also making better food choices.
- My skin is clearer. My face isn't as puffy. My girlfriend keeps commenting that I look healthier.
- No more hangovers. Even though I thought I wasn't hungover, I was a little hungover. It feels good to not have something holding me back.
Looking back, alcohol definitely played a part in the way my marriage ended. It wasn't everything, but it certainly made things worse/harder. And I was about to lose the best relationship I've ever had due to alcohol. My kids (both grown, no pics) are happy about it and wish I had quit sooner. So do I.
Do I miss alcohol? Yes and no. I don't miss the effects, but I do miss the taste of a good Old Fashioned or hoppy double IPA. I miss that more than I do the buzz. But I know that I can't go back. Ever. Could I have a drink and be OK? Yes. But I never know when that drink will turn into 10 drinks, and I can't ever go back to being that person. So that means I will always need to be at 0 drinks."
This! January 15 will be 4 years sober. I'm 54 and in the best shape physically, mentally, and spiritually of my life. I can't change my past, but I definitely changed my future.

No burgers. Chicken fingers. coleslaw, and bringing "The Don" some more Cane's sauce.
