Not you, too. My, I hope things go as well as they can. Our dog had been really walking the exponential curve, with peaks and valleys. Thank you for your kindness! (And I hope your younger one keeps your spirits up!)

Not immediate, sorry if I gave that impression. But she is 13 and failing slowly but surely - I can see it coming and it makes me sad.

She, fortunately, has no idea! She is still loving life and chasing squirrels, although she is retired from active competition.

I sort of considered that when I got my younger dogs - they are 8 and 4.

When the time comes, and only then, IF you were to consider a Lab (so as not to have direct comparisons with your beloved Tara) let me know. I know some excellent, excellent breeders in the Southeast for both field and English Labs.
