Welcome Marc, stick around, we are a pretty good crowd here. Can't help you but lots here who can. Maybe you can introduce yourself a little and I'm sure we'll all warm up in no time...........
Hey Clive, Do you remember Quill Minnows? Tiny Spoon with clear body minnow and tiny treble. Used to catch pretty much everything in the rivers over there on that, (short of maggots, chrysalis, redworms and brandlings).
You have my utmost respect Jack for handling things the way that you did. It is unbelievably hard to see your faithful friend in distress and even harder to have the fortitude to help them in the kindest way. Being there and holding them in their final moments when they are looking at you with adoration takes balls.........
Barbara and I have been through it a few times and it doesn't get easier. We have sat and talked about the heartache that follows such a decision and come to the same conclusion each time. It is much better to have loved and lost your friend than never to have had their love at all.
Take care......
John...
If any of you fine OFC's have access to more than one computer you can vote once a day from each one....I'm hijacking everyone's I can get on here at work...
So sorry to hear it Jack. You are absolutely right, it doesn't get any easier. My buddy Benson is over 10 now and he is starting to show the signs of an aging Lab. The pleasure we get while they are here more than makes up for the sadness when it's time for them to leave us.

Yup done........will make it a routine every morning. Lets keep this fresh guys and girls. If everyone on this board votes once a day she should sail home!
