No one should ever worry about hijacking any of my threads. Seriously. I'm happy to go where the conversation naturally flows and if and when I ever want to get things back to the original topic, I can easily do that. Heck, I seem to be the most guilty of taking my own threads off topic! I appreciate the respect shown however.
Ferret, I'm really sorry about your dog. I had a Toy Fox Terrier that my ex brought home one day after it had been abandoned by its owners. He lived to be 21! He was the oldest dog our vet had ever come across. My boys grew up with him and he was truly part of the family. In the end, he was blind, deaf and suffering too much and we put him down. Some of the hardest days I've ever experienced were the days that followed. Our whole family was devastated. In the end, the joy he brought far outweighed the heartache of losing him.
You've met Milo. We also have two other dogs! We like to think of Milo as my dog and the girls as belonging to my wife. Of course, they're all part of the family. Funny that your ideal breed is a mini-Yorkie Inline4. One of the girls is a toy Yorkie (not quite as miniature) and she's by far the best behaved of the bunch. The other is a mix Yorkie and Maltese that my wife brought home from a trip to New Mexico (no more traveling without me)! She's cute and loving but a handful. Fortunately, they all get along great.
Meet Sophie:

As far as a picture of me in my new, cool jacket and helmet...I'll see what I can do. I feel a little silly posing for a photo but if I ride through the 94 on a weekend morning, there's usually a professional photographer posted at one of the corners who captures riders as they pass. Hopefully, I can time it right and ride by when he's there. I've got a few photos from him when I was on my VFR. Here's one:
