       Gene,

          You're absolutely correct about missing a devoted dog when they are 
gone.
       Our dog was a Border Collie/Aussie mix  and a true friend of everyone !
       She died on a Monday AM and the following Saturday we had a new pure 
Aussie.
       I wasn't for getting one so soon but "She who must be obeyed" wanted 
to get
       the first pup we had looked at.  Certainly, they tie you down but 
believe me, getting
       the new pup so soon was definitley no mistake in our case. This was 
just over
       3 years ago.  He relieved alot of heartache.

       Our Aussie is "the one" they wrote all the Aussie books from.....he is 
unbelievably 
       smart. He won't let us out of sight....must be touching us all the 
time.  The funniest
       thing is when we need to go use the "throne", he lays himself between 
our feet
       and the throne.  He has to put us to bed at night,  lays between our 
head and the 
       headboard.   Lays there for 10 to 20 mins then walks off the foot end 
of the bed and 
       lays on the floor the rest of the night !!   Very protective,.... a 
little too much so !
       He's a real character.  Could go on forever about him !!
