Ok you all just dont know what it is to love somthing SOOOO much and to have to loose it. My dog is like my son I love him more than my own life and if I could pay any amout of money to keep him in my life forever i would pay that. I understand that it might not be the same exact dog but at least he would look and feel and smell the same thats all i can ask for.... If you had a baby and it died would you want it back even if it was a different personality it would still be a part of your baby and thats better then nothing.. everyone is allowed there own point of view this i just mine. I have my dear wedgies blood stored and ready for the day he passes because I will have him cloned. he is six now and i believe in another 10 years I can have him cloned........
