Thanks to all of you who have responded to this thread. I'm here in the midst of late summer, having just discovered that one of my Gordons, Cedar, most likely has cancer, and remembering past hunts with her, and planning to beat this disease and to start the season in Minnesota as we have for so many years. Your recollections and descriptions have made me more optimistic. I hope the months to come are memorably good for all of us.
