Thanks for the kind words, Rob. I keep thinking I'd rather not know.....but that's selfish. I need to make her last days/weeks/months pretty special. You'll get to meet her when you're here. I'm not ashamed to say it's breakin my heart, though. She's not "just a dog". She's been a GREAT friend.

I'm not sure we're on the same page as far as the grommet in the rear of the jacket. Go here and look:

It would be pretty simple to do.....and I'm going to have mine altered after the season. The collar is a no brainer if you're gonna hunt in ANY rain. the way it is now.....it's a funnel for water. Hey!....but I'm a novice....what do I know???....lol. These are merely suggestions to COMPLIMENT what he's already got going.....which I think is GREAT!
