    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT The 12-Gauge Garage

    You're in all our prayers Jack. Really hits home for me and I couldn't imagine losing my best friend. My Sam just looked at me and I felt guilty. I love my pup, but your story: although I spoil my dog, I shouldn't take him for granted as much as I do. All the best Jack.
