Thanking You!! My hunting Buddy Lost a GSP in MT 2 weeks ago to the gastric grim Reaper[&o] She was only 7. The vet was willing to operate but her spleen had already ruptured. This was at 7pm and she had been pointing birds at 4:30 that afternoon. Believe my friend cried the whole weekend but I wasn't there. Anyway thanks for the info Doc. That is Cassie closest to me. She was a fine dog by all accounts even if she did growl on point occasionally, she hated it when roosters ran.
