Happy New Year Essex and Deacon. May it be a little less adventurous than 2008 :). You are two well-traveled Collies!!!
Let's hope 2009 will be wonderful. We will keep your grandpaw in our prayers.
Hey, Dog Dad, we were at the Holmhaven site. Did you know they are looking to rehome Essex's mom? Don't know how old it is, but thought we'd tell you if you didn't know.
Did you ever get the AKC Gazette about the war dogs? Mom was curious.
Happy New Year all of you.
Hugs
