You guys are killing me....  make a gal cry at work?  For shame.
 
My old Miniature Pinscher....  he's black and tan, but the tan parts are really getting gray.  He will be 12 in December.   I've had him since he was 9 months old.  It will absolutely kill me when something happens to him.  I have a couple more young ones, but Jake is still top dog.  I never had any other dog as long as I've had Jake.
