My deepest condolences. I'm sure Etta held a special place in your families hearts. Dogs are definately special animals, I'll always have a dog to come home to.

Ingwe - I'm an out - of - the - can beer drinker, however, I will break out a glass for a proper toast to your companion.
My condolences are sent.
Are Ingwedogs border crossed with blue healer?

Sorry for the loss Ingwe. I am a firm believer that the best thing for the inside of a man is the outside of a dog! They love you unconditionally and all they ask for is a meal and a scratch behind the ears.
Experience is what you get, when you don't get what you want!

I'm sorry to hear this Tom. As a family who loves dogs we can sympathize with you.
I'm having one for Ingwee dog II as we type.
Camp is where you make it.

Just damn... A glass of the Irish was raised in her honor...

So sorry to hear that. It's like losing a family member. And sometimes worse.

I am sorry to hear about your losses Tom and Shane. Dogs steal our hearts with their affection and loyalty. They give love 100%. I am sitting at the table with my little ankle biter in my lap. She too is getting old. Too soon I will be feeling the pain and loss but I will also look back at all the joy and happiness she brought me during her short visit. Sorry guys.

Etta - wow on the training and shining times is appropriate for 15 years of memories. A glass has been raised. All the best.

Deepest condolences to you and your wife, Tom. Good dogs are worth inconceivably more than their weight in gold. You were blessed, indeed.
RIP, Etta.
Not a hard liquor guy but I will definitely raise an Aventinus in her honor tonight..

Ingwedog I was a cross between Australian Shepherd and Border Collie, she was wicked smart and was like a hairy little extension of me, personality wise. Ingwedog II, was pure bred Border Collie....granted, an odd looking one, and a big one, over the breed standard, in her prime she weighed 58 pounds. Likewise wicked scary smart,but she awaited instruction before using her smarts,the first dog took it upon herself..... Even with Rommel here, the house sure seems empty.

Thoughts are with you. We lost our two best friends a few years ago. Their going left a very big hole in our hearts! memtb
