Some times growing up means letting go...

So today I decided that I am going to sell my Blazer...



This has been kind of a time of changes for me, A few days ago my dog was killed...



And I'm taking it kind of hard, as well I have been really needing to get a dually that I can use to go make the big bad trip back to Montana to get the rest of my stuff that I have there, 3 cars, my tools, and my household furniture. Its going to be a bit of a process.

I found a new truck...



I am going to get it or one like it, going to get rid of the blazer and start working on building a house out here. Kind of crazy how things go. But that is life I guess.

Just kind of ready to shut this chapter in my life and move on. And yes I know it's a story, but ya know. I'm venting...

That dually is a truck I have wanted all my life, and the great thing is, next pup I get can ride in the back seat on those long road trips up north that way he can stay clean and dry..

He was a good boy, I took him everywhere with me, hell every Saturday we used to go down to sonic and Id get the both of us a burger. I couldnt leave the gate on the blazer down when it was sitting in my drive way, otherwise he would jump in and sit there and stare at me like "You know you wanna go for a truck ride"

man I miss him.

I bet. Szabu, (our dobie) would do the same thing. He always went with when we went out. He didn't care where we were going or for how long. He gets so excited when he sees you getting ready to leave, and OMG does he pout when he can't go. We have a rule that if it is too hot, he can't go...

I understand where you are comming from in that, Szabu didn't pass on, but the wife took him when we seperated a few months ago. She was in a better position to keep him sence I was moving back to AZ. I miss my pooch too!

Getting another puppy is a great idea. When I am ready, I plan on getting another dobie pup!

Oh and as far as the new truck goes, if I get that one, I am going to stuff the 500 hp 454 out of my other truck in it with the nv4500 I have, should make a great rig!

Man that sucks about the pooch. It seems like it wasn't long ago we were talking about how cute a pup he was and you showed me the grown up pics.

Get another one to help the healing.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. It looks like he had a great life, and he will live on in the memories you have of him.

Keep your head up, and best of luck with the changes you are facing.

Good luck with the sale of your Blazer!

Sorry about your loss. I had to put down my Jack Russell Terrier last year after he was run over.
