<p>Miles, you blessed my life in so many different ways. You were a fantastic companion.</p>
<p>You are greatly missed already. It won't be the same without you.</p>

<p>It never ceases to amaze the unbridled joy dogs can bring to your life and then the unspeakable grief when they leave it.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the great memories, Ced. You were such a fighter through all of your health issues, but it was finally your time.</p>

<p>When you get to ‘the rainbow bridge’, find Chelsea, Mollie, Chelsea Jr, Dublin, Killian, and Orion for me. Tell them that I love them and to wait for me. I miss each of you…</p>

Here's a cover of a magazine that I came across while cleaning today. I remember when I bought it being excited because you don't see them (Setters as cover dogs) that often, at least in the states. Any others out there?<br />

The trip covered 521 miles (838 km). Our special passengers were Tommy, Aaron, Gulliver, Toby and Georgia Girl. Three Irish and two English, although I thought one of the English was a red and white Setter. The first three had been transported in from Midland, Texas and Toby from San Antonio yesterday.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">The workers at the kennel where they boarded were wondering how I was going to get all 5 dogs and all their toys and food in my car. They also talked about how wild 3 of them were. I was only expecting one Wild Child, Aaron. Aaron was tethered to the inside of the car so his antics would not bother the others. We loaded up without issue and after the anxiety of wore off, most of the crew feel asleep. They were little angels (for the most part). Aaron even played Houdini and ended up escaping the tie-down and his collar. The only issue was that my new cell phone couldn’t get a signal in Texarkana and I had to stick my head in a coffee shop and ask someone to call Carol to tell her I had arrived.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Attached are a couple photos from the first leg. The first photo does not due the sight justice. Two of the kennel staff were also taking this picture it was so funny, including one who had the new iPhone. The photo shows three dogs piled in the front seat. The young red head in the driver’s seat and the two English Setters riding shot gun.</font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><font face="Arial" size="2">This photo is front to back, the young red head, Georgia Girl (the Senior Settizen), and the one that looks like a red and white Setter all racked out (fast asleep). It is tough to take decent photos and drive 75 mph.</font></font></p>

<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><font face="Arial" size="2">This photo is Aaron AKA 'Wild Child' AKA Houdini, before he performed his magic act and ended up in the front seat with me. He has more lead than it looks in that he could lay down comforably.</font></font></p>
