Well I just had to spend my Tri bike fund on my best friend. My dog Oberon has been sick so I had to take him to a specialist. I am 100% happy that he will get better, but WOW I had no idea how much it would cost.
oh well, a small price to pay for a lifetime of unconditional love. I guess I will just wait for the '06 models to go on clearance (I didn’t want to pay the full price for the new Saber anyway).
btw he says hi

Not too tough a call to make. I live in a town where it’s almost cruel to have dogs, it’s so hot. Remember that you’ll hopefully go through 5 or 6 bikes while the puppy is around. New bikes are always available, so don’t sweat it man.
On the other hand, a new bike doesn’t poop in the living room ;-)~
its good to hear Oberon will be ok; have you thought about pet insurance? I think my sister’s kitty was too old when she adopted him and near the end the vet bills were crazy but I doubt she regrets any of it. He looks like he’s getting bored of waiting for you at the race site… hahaha
Put four Hed 3s on Oberon and both problems are solved!
Without a doubt - you made the right decision. That looks like a great dog.
You’re both very fortunate to have eachother.
