Thanks DCR, actually Tuka was a she, thanks alot for your thoughtful sentiments. Tuka was a dog of such great qualities, and a warm friend I will always remember. The new pooch Bear is capturing my heart amazingly quick, when you see him you will understand why :-) I know you are a dog lover too. A good pooch as a friend has always been a special part of my life. Take care DCR and hope to see you before long, it has been a while :-)
