I'll never understand the people who engineer this shįt..

Cadillac Northstar v8 has a large 4t80 transmission that weighs probably 350lbs hanging off it by 4 bellhousing bolts.

This Colorado has a 2.5 4cyl and the 6 speed has 9 bellhousing bolts...

Afternoon men. I can’t say it’s been good. Went to the house for lunch and then to the barn to unload some things. As always, the outside dogs wanted attention and were barking and carrying on, then I heard my old Mtn Cur, Si, just start whimpering. I knew something wasn’t right so I went to check on him. He was completely paralyzed in his back legs. I couldn’t get him up and he was in bad shape. He’s been having some joint pain and such, but was still active and enjoying retirement from the squirrel woods. At 12:30 I had to put him down. I was going to take him to the vet but I think the ride would have killed him. He was a good hound that always wanted to please me. He treed more squirrels than any other dog I’ve had. He protected the family when they were outside and spent many miles running with my wife on the WMA. He always got between her and anyone that stopped to talk to her. He was damn good dog!

Damn, I hate losing a good dog, so sorry for you and the family. If there is a plus side it doesn't sound like Si was in long term pain

My condolences for your loss, it's hard to find a better true friend than a dog.

Thanks guys.

Every time we loose one, I say “No More!” I hate that about dogs, why can’t they live as long as we do? I pulled his papers out to let NKC and OMCBA know that he was deceased and he was 11. Now to decide if I have time to raise a pup and start again….

I lost my last one about 10 years ago. I love dogs but I decided not to get another one. I think about it sometimes but I talk myself out of it.
