quick addition: so sorry to hear about the dog. I know how difficult it can be with a sick dog, especially when they are elderly. Wish you lots of strength and luck for dealing with the end-of-life phase. Very tough but part of the cycle of life.
As for cars, I'm actually driving a Subaru and quite like it. My husband has the Audi.
My mom and sister have Subaru's. I like them, too, but my AH hates them for some strange reason so I don't even bother to look.
We went through the whole old dog thing 2 years ago with our lab mix and she was the most awesome dog in the world. I hated having to put her down and still miss her terribly. We all do.
