Some times growing up means letting go... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MrBeast · 11-22-2008, 07:49 PM

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...

Richard8971 · 11-22-2008, 07:51 PM

Sorry to hear about your K9 friend, I know how hard that can be. (beautiful dog too...)

Keep us posted on the new truck, your choices look awesome!

Thank you, and at least he lived a good life. I just miss him.

MrBeast · 11-22-2008, 07:54 PM

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!

**70cst** · 11-22-2008, 08:02 PM

MrBeast...Sorry to hear the bad news. It's always tough to loose a pet. Our dogs become family. Life is always full of changes. Good Luck with your upcoming adventure.

big_al_71 · 11-22-2008, 08:09 PM

sorry about your loss, good luck on your trip....

MrBeast · 11-22-2008, 08:14 PM

I think tomorrow I am going to stick the blazer on Evil Bay...

**72 Super** · 11-22-2008, 08:19 PM

Sorry to hear about your loss, we went through the same thing last December. Goodluck on the sale of your Blazer.

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.

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..

Sucks about the dog man.

I'd be interested in your old dually once you pull the engine and trans from it. Keep me in mind.

Thanks, but I have special plans for that truck.

**N2TRUX** · 11-22-2008, 11:40 PM

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.

I will before too long, need to build a new house first though, and a shop. you know how those deals go. When I get another I am getting another puppy, and I want to be able to devote the time to raising him right so I get a good dog.

72BlckButy · 11-22-2008, 11:58 PM

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!

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!

I am asking 8,000 for the blazer, it is listed on the classifieds here, I am going to Livingston, I was born and raised there, my grandpa is from Butte.

Unfortunate that you had to give him up.

I am not sure weather my next pup will be a shepherd, a rottie or a dobie, they are all really good breeds if you raise em right.
