Sorry about Rommel, he was a star in my book. Have patience, the "yap-yap" will turn into snappy bark in time. 
I am..........disturbed.

Sorry you lost your dog Rommel. Best way to go is get another one. My dogs seem to turn into extensions of me and losing one is like losing a part of myself. My only worry is not living long enough to outlast my newest dog, that crazy Catahoula Amber.

Damn Poobs I'm very sorry to hear about Rommel, He was a Good Boy we'll miss him around here.
When I lost my Beloved Charlotte I didn't think I would ever have another dog but I lasted 2 months, I no longer wanted to live with that hole in my heart.
Congrats on the new pup, she's a lucky gal.

You know that since you say your retired, would be the perfect opportunity to teach, learn, watch, observe & write a book about the whole experience! Be a great way to help pass your knowledge onto others👍

Sorry to hear about your boy Rommel Tom. We lost our dog Scout last month as well (brain tumor).
I am looking forward to meeting Miss Lily, I'm sure she'll carry on the Ingwedog legacy with great aplomb!

You'll have to take her hunting in texas next trip, and then stop by on your way home for lunch and puppy playtime..... Don, I'm not so sure, my last Border Collie and that of my protege are both gun shy, despite my best efforts. Ingwedog I was have BC xAustralian Shepherd and she thought guns were great. This one so far balks at loud noises...we shall see...

Makes me want to rethink my reluctance to get another after losing my JRT. Keep us posted with the training pics!

Sorry to hear about Rommel.
He had a Rock Star life for sure.
Your new pup will have one too.
My middle daughter has 2 Border Collies.
They are smart for sure.

I bought my sister and her sons a blue heeler, turned out to be a great dog. They bred him to an Australian Shepherd, all the pups turned out great. One saved his owner when the lady got cornered in a barn by a beef-breed heifer which began butting her. The dog heard the commotion and jumped on the cow’s head biting it’s ears, causing it to run off.

So sorry to hear about Rommel. Like losing a family member in my book.
Cute puppy. Hope she’s a good one. She’s a cutie!

It’s so hard to lose dogs. It makes my eyes water right in front of other people..
But that new little face should make you smile many times.
