Craig, I am truly sorry for your loss. These animals may be pets but they are more than that. They are loved family members.

Thanks to all !

And yes sir they are truely part of the family !

I've had Border Terriers since 1962 !

And it looks as if I may very well be taking a trip a little south of Nashville to get another before the end of the year .

I kept English Setters also for awhile for grouse , But all my bird dogs were kennel dogs . Now granted I thought alot of all of them , the Borders were ALL house dogs so as one would expect when the time comes it's a whole lot rougher .

Marion DuPont Scott gave me my first one for my first birthday in 1962 she lasted about 17 years . We took awhile to find a second one and I think we got her about 1980-1981 she made it 16 or 17 years and passed in 1998 . We got the one we just had to put to sleep in Spetember of 1998 and she made it 15 years plus .

The first passed from old age , the second had a large tumor in her stomach and this last one had liver cancer !

My bird dogs usually all died of old age and most made it 13-15 years . All were English Setters except one GD hard headed AKC English Pointer he had an annurism and I found him in his kennel one day in a pool of blood .
