Yea it sucks losing a dog.. They don't care if you're fat, short, ugly, etc, they love you no matter what. I still have another Rott, Apollo, and he is already lonely it seems. I'm planning on getting another (if the boss lets me) in our new house sometime next spring. Here are pics of both of them. The first is Vader , the next is Apollo.
