Roxyann- the end of the laborador era
Tonight, our laborador of 12 years passed away after a 36 hour illness. She was the consummate pet,gentle,loving, accepting, obedient, wonderful hunting companion, and a lure to young males in the neighborhood til the end. She loved the smell of quail, pheasants, grouse, ducks, fresh pot roast gravy and Thanksgiving turkey tidbits. Every collection of water was her fountain and swimming hole; retrieving the dummy an artform, especially a triple blind retrieve. She stayed clear of skunks, porcupines, and dead fish, she had her standards. Tomorrow we will lay her to rest in the grounds she loved to dig and smell; rain and snow are expected but our wet eyes will be her final bath. Eric

a trite little quote, but I believe true. "All dogs go to heaven". Your epitaph perfict. Thank you.
Just got your letter today - we were not aware of the rollercoaster you have been on for half a year now. And then the loss of your dog...such a heartache for everyone. We'd like to pass your blog info on to Pat Irvine, Tom Scott and Jay Noren if that is OK. Doreen and Frank
Sorry about Roxy, hows Eric and little Jack? Beautiful baby, looks just like Tim!!! Many good wishes to all, and may the new year be the best. Paulette
I came across this and thought you might enjoy. I think about you often and always look forward to see you here in the office. Hannah
The Bible and a Haircut...
A young boy had just gotten his driver’s permit and inquired of his father, if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son. "You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut and we'll talk about the car."
The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer and they agreed on it after about six weeks his father said,” Son, I've been real proud. You brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm real disappointed you haven't gotten your hair cut."
The young man paused a moment then said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair and there's even a strong argument that Jesus had long hair."
To this his father replied, "Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?"
