Thank you.
 
DocJekl, Thank you for the affirmation, mi hermano. May your blades always bring you joy.

And to keep the fixie affection comin', here's a kitchen couple. Nothin' fancy, kinda venerable, a bit beat up, scars measuring the mileage, a little shine at the edges, & a shot o' life left in 'em.

I know that look. The dog who looked at me like that left me 2 years ago. I'm still broke up over it. My 2 dogs now are great but they won't ever be zula. Cherish every moment my friend.

Hey Brother,


I'm not meaning to hijack your thread; I realize that it's a knife thread and not a "dog" thread. What you posted was very profound for me, and I felt compelled to respond....and absolutely HAD TO.


I'm sorry about the loss of your puppy dog. I've been there. A few years a back, I lost a yellow lab (*"Dylan"), with whom I'd had kind of a "shared custody" situation. It was terrible and heartbreaking for me.

Around that time, I found the little terrorist puppy that I posted (*"Osama bin Crystal-pants"), quite literally "out in the middle of nowhere". She had somehow miraculously survived being dumped/abandoned in the "Land of Predators"...feral hogs, bobcats, coyotes, rattle snakes, brown recluse spiders, etc., and about a million things that could've killed her...only to be placed in my path.

I've had a pretty rough coupla' decades, where "loss" has become a norm for me. Some folks may think that I saved or helped both of those puppies. However, the reality is that BOTH saved me during some of the roughest times in my life.


I recently found-out that Crystal is going to need some pretty invasive surgery(ies). For me, it's a "no brainer", and (*despite my current financial situation) money is no option. She will absolutely get what she needs. My current worries are that she is no longer a "puppy". Even though I still view her as a puppy, the reality is that she is almost nine years old...and I worry about the outcome.


Your "Cherish every moment" post really spoke to me.

Crystal sleeps in my bed every night. The first thing I do, upon waking, is to reach to find her. I honestly can't imagine her not being there. Also, whenever she's next to me in the recliner, I always rub on her and recite to myself, "Remember, these moments are fleeting."


Anyhow, back to your "knife" thread...

Anyone who's loved and lost man's best friend will have no issue with this....I certainly don't...
They ARE better than most people😉......

Man, where to begin. Although people start threads here, the moment they hit the create button that thread becomes the community's thread. I'm just a guy who loves knives and fixed blades in particular. I love that a bunch of other guys (and gals) share this thread. You all make it worth checking almost every day. We got our own little spot for fixy's and I love it ( thank you Kevin for keeping this place running, it's a part of my life).

I don't mind and I don’t think anyone else will mind your post. Yes it's a knife forum but it's a community of humans, not robots, and we'll talk about all kinds of stuff. So long as we don't run a foul of the rules i think it's fair game to chat about most things.


I'm both sorry to hear and glad you've had the best friends you've had/have. I too have had a few decades of character building "trials" or just shit luck depending on how you look at it. I been on my own since 16 with not much in the way of family, at 20 i was coming home from a year deployment and i found myself on the other side of the country from where i was from with no one. So I jumped on Craigslist and found an ad for a free dog. I drove over there and there was 3 dogs, one, who was white and brown stood out to me. I picked her, and named her zula.

It was me and this dog as family. We had thanksgiving together, i made a turkey for us and we shared it. She was my best friend. Many drunk nights id leave the door open and shed sit on my bed and watch the door. I walked her drunk one night and hit my head on the stairs and woke up to her licking my face. She would love me and survive me (i was a hot mess and a wrecking ball) all through my 20's and into my 30's. When I had kids she took them in like they were her own.

2 years ago i had a family tragedy and some one important was taken from me. Not long after that, zula died. *uck. I'm still not over it. I buried her out back. Cried my eyes out. I'll never get another dog like her. They don't live long enough.

Not everyone bonds with their dog like we do, but understand exactly how you feel. Thanks for sharing brother. You can drop me a line if you ever wana shoot the breeze.

Here's one more of zula when she was younger
