Rory is a beautiful boy who is so lucky to have a family that loves him. He looks like he enjoyed his weekend and hope you have more to come. Seeing the picture with his ball and you mentioning the stick reminds me of my wonderful girl who has been gone for a long time. Sticks...oh, did she love stick. When my ex and I moved to Naples, FL there were no 'sticks', she started dragging palm fronds around. Then one day, she got a package delivered to her, in her name. A box of sticks. My mom and dad had collected a lot of sticks, and their next door neighbor sawed them into uniform lengths and they were all about the same diameter. They were sent by the "Acme Stick Company", and came with instructions. She was the happiest Flat-coated Retriever in the world.

Tears may fall, as they are now for me thinking about Rory and my beautiful Brittany; but those memories will be with us forever. Here's to more memories for you both.
