An ironic, yet appropriate thread for me personally at this time.
This was my "best friend". His name was Scooter and he was a Dachshund, which is German for Badgerdog .
He was an integral part of our family for over 16 years, however, on Monday he told me it was finally his time and we had to take him to the Vet for one last visit. For obvious reasons, I don't post here personally very much anymore, but I wanted to share a my sense of deep loss, with those of you whom I've shared an on-line virtual friendship in our flight sim hobby over these many years.
I will miss him..... gone, but not forgotten. 
Regards,
Badger
