Great story, Tom. Thanks for writing it for us. I got a new black lab pup three weeks ago today. Her name is Cady. Her father belonged to a close friend and duck hunting buddy of mine. He gave me Cady, pick of the litter, after he bred his dog to a local female. The owner of Cady's mother called me about half hour ago to check on her, and to tell me that her father, Rev, had been hit by a car and killed. I texted my buddy with my condolences just now, and urged him to get one of Cady's littermates while he still can. It's so fresh for him, and he is grieving, but I really hope he gets one of the pups, 'cause there won't be anymore. We'll talk soon, when he feels like it.
Thanks for starting this thread, Jim. It's a good way to remember Mandy, she was a fine dog. Glad I got to know her at Tunica (and you too
).
SRH.
