RIP, Miki

I don't normally post too much personal stuff on this blog, but just wanted to take a moment to remember my family dog, a Maltese named Miki, who passed away yesterday morning at 8:30am.  She led a long and happy life for 16 years, 3 months.  She was a huge part of my life growing up, since she was a part of our family from the time I was in middle school.  As anyone that's ever had and/or lost a pet will know, it's a difficult time, even if we know that it's inevitable.  Pet owners and lovers, please take the time today to give your pet an extra hug for me in honor of Miki!
