greenskin Posted April 10 #400 Posted April 10 I'm sorry for your loss. I had to put my dog to sleep once. He was my only friend, standing by my side for 13 years, helping me endure my mental problems and giving me light in dark times, so I know what you feel. They are not just dogs. They are family members and missing them hurts like hell. I wish you strength in this dire time. Piotr mtaylor, Mr Whippy and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote

Patrick Haw Posted June 6 #404 Posted June 6 (edited) Hello Kevin, I just found this build log. Before I say anything else, my condolences for the loss of your loving companion. Our dogs make our lives complete in so many ways. I am in awe of your modeling output and your skills, Kevin, and your Indefatigable is beautiful. But I have a question...where do you keep all of your ships? Cheers!
