So sorry @nrdsb4. My daughter just told me that tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the death of our beloved border collie Boot. He was given to us when he flunked out of herding school and was just the best dog. He was so well behaved, so calm and mellow. We both still cry when we think of him. He was 12 years old.
The puppy in my avatar is our new dog we got a few months later. She has helped distract us from our sadness and is becoming a very good dog too.
My thoughts are with you.
