one! The gene god rule the night and we try to outguess them in the day. I
blame no one, including myself for not knowing. I have two remaining out of
those lines. Now that we have the DM test we know… Before that, we did not. Our
remaining dogs from those lines are carriers. They move through the ranch with
the wonder and grace of the best of the breed, but they will not see the show
ring again, now that we know. </span></p>

discovered this DM hell in your yard, lighten up on yourself – and join me in
living out the end of the disease if we can. And I totally agree with Evan – I
would not change a thing, for those dogs we had out of that line were some of
the dearest to our hearts. I still miss them so very much!</span></p>

style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">I had a
dog, a great one, who was the number one stud dog in the country. I never knew
his sire had some problems with his rear end. Then my dog's son was the number
one producer in the country the next year.</span></p>
<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span

<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">When the
litter was born, they all had parvo. The pick male died, but this one, so
special, had a full transfusion, and lived. His coat was covered with white
hair, and we nicknamed him Speckles. Gail Hardcastle told us the white would
go away, and it did.</span></p>

<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Then one
day we noticed he didn't move like he used to. We went through everything to
find out what was going on. The vet, after a lot of x-rays and vet bills, we
found two bad discs. But, instead we decided it was DM.</span></p>

<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">He also
developed a growth on his elbow. After the vet told us it was cancer, we got a
second opinion, the same thing. They said to take off his leg. The third time
they diagnosed Valley Fever. So, he was on medication. It worked and he kept
his legs.</span></p>

<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Every day
we would wrap a towel under his rear and walk him for a mile. Tedi did it
mostly, and then she started to have hip problems, maybe from lifting the dog,
maybe not. Tedi had two hips replaced, and we continued to walk the dog. I
would take him with the towel and walk, and walk and walk. That went on for a
year or so. Every day we got that quality time with him.</span></p>

<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The day
came when he could not walk even with our help. I had to go to work, so I met
Tedi at the vet, and I sat on the floor in my suit and tie, with his head in my
lap, as he took his last breath. A piece of my heart went with him.</span></p>

Asgard's Big Ben of Encore is gone. I would not have missed a minute of my time

have done anything to have another day, and regret nothing.</span></p>
