Dean and Bill,
Thanks for the kind words. The good Captain gave Luke a bit of his pork tenderloin, so the Lab God's will be smiling on him during the 'race'.
I have one particular memory of Luke at Pintail...when he made eye contact with the leopard skin rug and head mount under Kevin Mc's display table and he went into attack mode. Every hair stood on end and I heard him growl for maybe the only time in his life....I just barely stopped him from charging that rug.
We came within an inch of having cat fur and guns and tables flying all over the tent. I convinced him to leave it alone but he kept one eye on that rug and his lip curled up until we left. I dont think he ever really figured out what the hell that big spotted cat was doing under that table.
Every one of us deserves one great dog. They are gone so soon.
