Dean;
I lost Parker in Nov last year and knew it was coming as he was 14. Fox is around 14 and she is showing her age too. So am, I but at 74 I won't hesitate to get another dog. Got one in the works now and hope to have him ready this fall. My good buddy and I made an agreement that if either one of us precedes our dogs in this life we will take care of each others dogs.

Great goal to be shooting doves at 100. My Dad did it until he was 96. My grandson's bday is also on Oct. 13th,

just a few years later than yours
