Exactly Garry - exactly!
Here is a very small excerpt from my yet-to-be-published book "Tampico, My Tinkhamtown"
I hope I can paste it here.....
"The community of friends and neighbors is so much of what calls you back – draws you back – each time to that place among the hills. These days, going back there each time seems more like coming home than going away. Odd that it should be so - your home, your profession, your family, Kathy, your daughters and their families, almost everything else in your life being at the other end of that long drive - but more and more it seems so. You don’t have a split personality but it seems you have a divided life. Having a wider base, though, keeps you from toppling and provides a more varied root system to support you."

Not because I think they're better than the other breeds,
but because I'm a romantic - stuck on tradition - and to me, a Setter just "belongs" in the grouse picture."
George King, "That's Ruff", 2010 - a timeless classic.
