I saw this and thought it was appropriate for anyone who has lost a pup. ![[Linked Image]](http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r259/RoadRunner-65/dogs_zpsy8lnvtds.jpg)
Only a dingleberry, not yet a Turdlike person, maybe someday!!! I am happier than a retard in a room full of bouncy balls right now!! Joe.

Man, sorry to hear that. I hate losing dogs. I have a 8yo setter that has had some auto immune system issues. Big time cash every month for drugs. But will continue to pay the price to keep her around. I have cryed when we have lost everyone. Wife tells me NO MORE DOGS after this one is gone. How the hell is that supposed to work? I've had dogs most all my life.

Ingwe,
Thanks for sharing pics of her and part of your life together with all of us here.
I no longer imbibe, so I will see to it that Breeze and Katie get an extra "cookie" in her memory after dinner tonight.

Tom, I'm sorry to hear about Etta,she was a great one. ![[Linked Image]](http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c291/marcbishop/bfcfe5a6-b425-4919-aa07-badb59d87e36_zpsfrkwxnzw.jpg) I will definitely raise a glass to her. Thanks for posting that pic,besides Mule Deer I think you're the only fire member that got to fish with her.... Nearly every pic I have of you with a fish, Etta's nose can be seen in. She was always ready to show a trout who was boss.

I'm sorry to hear that, Tom. You seem to collect one-in-a-lifetime dogs. Or is it that they collect you?
I figured out a long time ago that an animals "personality" and ability have more to do with the owner than the critter's native intelligence.
Some folks have wrecks for pets and working critters, other folks have real gems.

Raised a glass tonight for her, and another good friend who lost their Great Dane today. Condolences. I'm coming up on that time soon too, both of mine are getting on and have health problems. It never ends well.

Damn sorry to hear this Tom. I have a real soft spot for those Herding dogs. One of these days Im going to get me one. One thing for sure you loved those dogs as much as they loved you.
I've always been different with one foot over the line.....
