It goes both ways man.. heh.. to some, they are pets, to others they are companions. Obviously this one was the latter. My "card" was simply a gesture of condolence, and done in the vain of WD's connection with his companion... his callsign, and even temporary squad name, being dedicated to this particular companion. On the AH message boards we have recently witnessed losses that I think we would all regard as more significant, but this one I am sure was significant also. Besides, I guess I'm just an old-fashioned, hopeless, sentimental bastard, who just so happens to like playin' with graphics programs.

Also, for a short while, WD was a squad-mate, and Hallmark doesn't make cards as appropriate as mine... hee hee.
Hasta.
