I Remember Gracie, and it hurts every time I do.
And I remember Kathy, and I just can’t talk (write) any more. I need to stay sane.

I was given our first Border Terrier for my birthday when I was a year old . I’m 63 now and I have the fourth we’ve owned at present . The other three have moved around a bit over the years but they’re in their final resting place . My father was cremated and he had said he wanted to dig the two up that were buried and have them placed in the burial locker that contained his ashes and put the ashes of the third dog in as well . And sports fans thats right where those three are . My fourth Border has a condition that the vet says is incurable so when the time comes she’ll be cremated and go where ever I go be it here or the Philippines . What do the Marines or Seals say “we leave no one behind” , I take that view on those little dogs .

I don't go for that Rainbow Bridge hokum, but we had to put our first Setter "Deacon Blue" down January 2, 2019. Hard to believe it'll be six years this coming January. December 29 was the last day he hunted. I guided a group of guys on that day. A few months later I guided them again and they were very shaken that Deacon was gone. He was a great dog, He taught us so much about hunting over a pointing dog.

This photo is from his final hunt, doing what he loved to do.
