And then I think how lucky I was to of had some pretty good dogs throughout my life. Me, too, me too. My current bud is now 11, and he treed a coon for me on Wednesday. Didn't come out of his kennel until noon today...... I've got a spot picked out for him on the farm where he can look out over where he used to chase coons, birds, cats and hang out with me. There'll be no trip to the vet, it'll be just him and I. I owe him that. But it will gut me for at least a week. Sic Semper Tyrannis
