I still lurk here every once and a awhile. I've kept up with Maggie's story. I lost my Boader Collie the day after 911. She was 17 years old and had lost control of everything. My Daughter had to tell me enough was enough and she did the deed.

For me, Heven would be a place where I could be with all the dogs I've had in my life. I still have those dreams everyonce in awhile I'm there playing with them. As I get older that doesn't seem to make my own demise half bad.

I got Cahlie a 3 year old BC and we have been together ever since. They are not the same dogs but they have that same spirit.

So Doug and Andie enjoy your new Springer. It's not the same but then again it really is.
