Said goodbye to my bud tonight.

Again, thank you all for the comments. I appreciate that.
A story about Odie: When we first brought him home, Tony told me 'he's a food thief.. he just a normal highly intelligent dog when he doesn't have his working vest on'.
I grilled boneless chicken breasts on the grill. Put them into a glass pyrex dish, covered them with tin foil, and brought them into the house and set them on the stove. Told the wife the chicken has to rest a bit, so she did a few things around the house. She comes back outside about 15 minutes later, and asks me where the chicken is. Odie had put paws up on the stove, gently pulled back the tin foil enough to get his snout in, and sucked down 6 chicken breasts, without Angie hearing him doing it.

Odie's on the couch licking his lips. I was too amazed to be mad.

Everything I cooked after that went into the closed oven. :)
