Be a nice guy and I�ll delete this post. What do you say?

Hey John, sorry for the loss of your family member.� They take a little piece of us with each of them as they go ahead of us across the bridge, then there will be a huge dog/cat pile waiting to jump all over us and lick us to death when we get there. �

Sigh. Yeah, that's what the Rainbow Bridge says. It was very quick. She was fine in the morning, bouncing around for food and walkies. Went out for an eye exam and when I got home, Abby was on the floor unable to walk. Took her in to Ann and got the bad news. Do nothing, she dies; do surgery, then maybe. Ann said not quite 50/50, meaning really ****ty odds. I asked if 20% was realistic and she said she would do her best. Okey dokey. She let me in the OR and I held Abby and petted her head and kissed her nose and let her know I was there while Ann was doing the anaesthesia. I was the last thing she saw. She didn't make it. But she tried.

They do take a piece of us with them when they cross the Rainbow Bridge, don't they? I'm ready for that dog/cat pile waiting to jump all over me and lick me to death when it's my turn to get there. Meantime, bro, I have a seriously empty hole where my heart was.

There's a breeder, not too far away, with a couple leftover runts that I can take my pick of and bring home tomorrow for a big buck. Not that I give a rats arse about runts, and a grand is only money, but it's really late at night, and I'm still sitting here in front of the screen because I'm too afraid to shut everything down and go to bed and have to realize it's going to be empty. Nobody's going to lick my face at 5 am tomorrow - c'mon Dad, I gotta pee.

I'm, uh, a complete wuss when it comes to dogs., especially Springers. Just can't imagine living without one.

On your way to the breeder, make a stop at the local shelter and see if there is someone there who picks you out.

You just put that better than I could. I got a few friends waiting for me when the lights go out, in the meantime you have my sympathy.

I will do that Mike. I'm an active Springer Rescue member and have seen the eager eyes and yearning tails of desperate pups in the pound. If I had the money, no dog would ever go without that special person. But I ain't got that much, so gotta do it wisely.

Breeders will euthanise their runts and culls. Nobody ever sees them, and they never even get to a pound, or anywhere they can get a chance. It's the show ring or the trash heap. Rescue tries their best, but can only get 1 in 20 of these. Somehow, God gave me the opportunity to do something worthwhile, and grab a pup, that would have been erased, and give it a home. Sometimes, having money is a good thing. That's what the stinking stuff is there for, yeah?

Going to call her Duchess. last Springer I fostered I took to her forever home in Hobe Sound FL. Her new mom and I became good friends and she renamed her dog Lady Duke (long story) and I think it not only appropriate, but highly respectful, to call my new dog with a name that has meaning. Besides, I can get pretty perky with Duchess.

A pic from the top of the litter. Doubt Duchess will look as good as that, but give me a month; she'll be field strippin a '16 in 9 seconds and goin, "hey Dad, when can we go see Uncle Jim and the Green Machine?".

Just lost Abby the Hamster dog today. Passed over the Rainbow Bridge at about 2:00 pm Alabama time.

My condolences, John. Losing a four legged friends is always terrible.
