Default I'm back.
The last few weeks have been rough. Had a death in the family.

Also had to put my Labrador Retriever down. She was 15 years old.

About the Ae Ae -- I received one last winter but it died off with the cold weather we had. Hope to get another one soon.

Will check the mats today and make a list of shippable pups.

Sorry to hear about your troubles.. things always seem to pile on in twos and threes. Tough to lose family members, and in my family that includes dogs. Best wishes for you and your family and may better times be ahead.

Sometimes life throws big things at you. Duck, regroup, and keep moving - preferably forward.

My dog died the day before Easter 2020, another death of a close family member occurred the day before Father's day 2020. Rough. Still rough some days. Do what I said above. I try to stay distracted, otherwise it is hard to function. (and don't curse at or blame God)

Hey Dan! Good to see your still around.

I’ve had the worst 6-8 months of my entire life and know how you feel. Just get back up and keep moving forward! I hope things are looking better as they are for me!

Take care.
