This is a photo a friend of mine took at Briggs’ first agility trial. He was about 2 years old here. The photo is framed and sits in my office.
He was such a fine specimen of a dog. Dexter has big shoes to fill.
Happy Birthday Briggs. We miss you every day.

Happy birthday Red Dog! I came to this blog after you, but after scrolling through the archives, I feel honored to have seen some of your story and shed some tears in your memory. Those once-in-a-lifetime dogs are something special.

A friend told me the price of a good dog is a broken heart. So true. It's still worth it.

Happy Birthday Briggs. I peak at your Scottish hat picture on The Food Lady's flickr page every now and again and it always makes me smile.

He is lovely in this photograph but there was so much more character and nobleness in his face in his later years. No one will fill his shoes but Dexter may grow into shoes equal to his. I think Red Dog would approve of Dexter.

Food lady, I am so happy that you were able to make so many memories with such a wonderful pooch, and shared some of them with us. May the others comfort you and make you laugh today, and every day. I'll give my pup an extra cookie for Red Dog.

Barra's 13th birthday was January 24, believe it or not. I cherish every single moment I have with her, both for myself and in memory of the Good Dogs That Went Too Soon. Happy birthday Briggs, you reddest of Red Dogs.

Happy belated birthday, Red Dog. Good dogs positively affect a few people's lives. Great dogs positively impact the whole Internetz. :)

Aww, what a handsome boy he was. I don't think I'd ever seen a pic of him as a young'un.
Happy birthday, Briggs.
