The circle of life has brought both joy and heartbreak to Mike and me this week. On Weds sweet Sally delivered 10 puppies from a highly anticipated breeding and all are doing well. That same day, my beloved Tweed (Sally's mother) underwent emergency surgery for a tumor on her spleen. She the finest care at KState Vet U but complications developed and yesterday we lost her. Mike and I are devastated. Everyone who knows me know that Tweed was my constant companion, the soft pillow I cried into during hard times, and my pride and joy. She leaves behind a legacy of many fine bird dogs and was loved by all who knew her. Our hearts and home feel empty.....
