Sorry for your loss. It is very hard to get over. In my 60 years I have had the pleasure and company of 8. I still miss everyone of them. # 9 is laying on my foot as I type this. We are still kinda new to each other as we found each other 2 weeks ago. Remmi is a 3 year old springer and so far has been a real treat for this old coot. ( I grew into my teens with a brace of springers).
