I want y'all to see something very special to me.

[Bill McAdam]

Frank Peeters was gracious enough to carve this decoy to serve as my dog, Shiloh's, urn. Even without Shiloh in it, it's special. Frank really put himself into it. She came back home with us Memorial Day weekend when we went to pick up Quinn from the breeder. Fitting.



I asked for a simple Gunner, but Frank said he 'did a little extra work'. These pics don't do it justice.




Extra stuff like this..........




The decoy won't float because her remains amount to about 3 lbs. of material, but she'll ride in the boat once more this season and, maybe, give Duncan a few pointers about the job.......


Thank you, Frank, for doing such a fine work on her final resting place.

That's incredible. That's one of the best ideas I've ever seen, and really touching too.
