Rich, thanks for reminding me of the "collar thing". I have collars with tags hanging in the gun room and in the living room on the decoy shelf. I even have some collars from pups that didn't live here but were dear to us because we knew them. I can't even throw away a leash. I have not spent a lot of time with more than one bird dog in the house at one time, so my list is shorter than other near seventy year old dog people. When I was three years old, there was Penny, then her son Rusty, then Ranger, then Feather, then Jake, whose death caused me to go through a bit of a dogless period until Linda brought in her Springers, mother Kelly and son Doser. Now there is our Wirehair, Eva, maybe the most beloved of them all. I can't imagine what it would have been like without them.
