I also wanted to say that in Jun I lost my kid ( 9 yr old Rhodesian). My wife had just deployed and I also prayed for that extra 3 min of doggie daddy time. It was a rough bout for me a while back. You will never have another pal as great as Vinny but I can guarantee you this- each day that goes by the memories of him will run through your head and make you smile and laugh. When youre feeling down think of him and i'll bet he can still bring a smile to his dad's face! If ya need anything your FABO family will be here
God Bless

Thank you Floyd.
I am sorry for your loss also.
I'm not really sure how I would have done without this website.
FABO has been here for me ever sense I lost my job in 08. It has really kept me sain. It gave me something to contribute when there was nothing else for me.
Vinnie was my insparation when it came to funny dog captions for my restore thereads. He was always talking to me. The last few weeks ABB and I commented several times how he was really getting vocal here lately. He was always like trying to really talk to us here lately. Lots of loud growls and grumbles. When he couldn't get around as good he decided talking was a way to get more attention.
He always talked to me though. Sometimes when he would go to kiss my face he would growl real loud and show his teeth right before the toung would come out and lick my face! Some of my friends thought he was going to bite me. Then after his lick I would look up and say,"See he wasn't going to bite yet, he was just tasting me for later!
Weird I spent so much time the other day digging up all his pics from different threads for his birthday thread.
Now I've got a Vinny and Lex folder full of pics on my desktop!
God bless you Floyd for being here for us.
John.
