Greenie, as you know, when my dog Truman was alive, he slept in my office. You will probably do the same thing I did. For about 2 weeks when I shut down for the night, I still said, "Night, night boy...see you in the morning...I love you".

I still get very sad when I think about him. He really did die before his time. But, a bit of advice to anyone getting a dog.

Don't get a really big dog. Truman was a Great Dane and if he had lived until he was 7, he would have been considered very old. Anything you think could go wrong with an animal too big, does. They get bad backs, stomach problems and just die way too soon. Almost 2 years later and my heart is still broken.
