<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>We miss our sweet boy so. We will get another dog, perhaps from rescue, perhaps from one of the many breeders I’ve gotten to know. The struggle with a rescue dog in this breed is that you may not get to enjoy them as long. We got our boy when he was 4 1/2. He was heart clear whe we got him, but started to get the first signs of a murmur within that first year. We only got to enjoy him for 5 1/2 yrs. We lost him 2 weeks before his 10th birthday. So, if I choose a pup next go round, I’ll have to deal with the housebreaking, the chewing, etc (none of which I had to deal with with our rescue dog), but hopefully I’ll have the fortune to have a four-legged companion for a while longer…</p>
