    Yes, it's very nice.
    It's all new. Her kennel was destroyed a while back by weather. It was on her property and she didn't want to rebuild everything there. She found the big empty building a few miles away.

    Anyone else tried the sparkling strawberry yet? I like to try them right away and then watch over time to see how they change.

    Tried the sp strawberry and not impressed. I don't get 'sparkling' but get a weird back note (guess that is supposed to be champagne). Tried the Lemon Gummy Candy and it is pretty good solo right off the bat. A bit light at 3% and I expect it will fade so will probably bump that up to 5%.

    I haven't tried the strawberry yet. Mixed it with WF Pastry Cream.

    She may be a bit over weight.

    He is a Belgium Malinois

    I figured. They are an awesome breed. Most are intense as all get up and go. Smart. Easy to train. Excellent for LE, personal protection and great family dogs.

    Our breeder friend trains Belgian Malinois and GSD's for law enforcement. We got our GSD's from her. She's been wanting to give me one of her Belgian pups for a few years now. I almost took one the last time we visited her.

    That can't happen until after Carli dog moves on. And even then, who knows, don't know if I will want another canine. As I've gotten older it's become harder and harder to put animals down when the time comes. But I'm always right there when the deed is done. I'm a big baby when any of our animals cross the Rainbow Bridge. Always takes me a good amount of time to, IDK, recover (not sure that's the right word, probably isn't). I was a mess when we had to put down one of my horses a few years back. Held her head in my lap for hours.

    But, I reckon, we do what we must, when we must.

    My gd with the kennel. Her name is Mandi and before she got married and moved to NM she was a cop here in NH. She had a house fire here and lost her 2 beautiful pups. She moved to NM and briefy worked for the sheriffs dept before deciding she didn't want to be a cop anymore. She posted this on FB.

    Completely understand. I haven't had a pet since my mean little kitty Kat, Trouble, passed. Can't take that heartbreak again.

    The pups lost in the fire. Mandi loved those pups and still misses them.Axle was the best dog I've ever seen and just a mutt.

    I remember the story of the fire, it was heartbreaking. I'm glad she's doing well in NM now,

    Beautiful pups. I can’t even begin to imagine how Mandi and y’all felt.
    :wub:

    That would still upset me.

    It still really upsets her. When she went out in her boat Axle would always sit up front.

    Afterwards I always say I’m not gonna get another animal. But, I always have.

    I can’t imagine a life without animal friends. They’re all family members to me.

    Every night before I go to sleep I always ask the Universe to keep me alive long enough to see my animals through to the ends of their lives. I don’t want to go and have animals grieve.

    All animals grieve. I’ve seen many stories about that as I’m sure everyone here has. Those kinds of stories always hit me hard.

    When my wife passed away our cat and dog grieved. We grieved together. Our cat literally screamed every night for a couple weeks. The dog was visibly down. She howled at night for a while. Both would look for her whenever I came home from somewhere.

    Reminds me of what my absolute favorite motivational speaker, Roger Mellot, used to say. "You would give up all that unconditional love because you don't want the pain of losing them?"
