Default My Shop Mate is gone
Chips, our border collie was lost today. He was my shop mate. He always seem to have a have a opinion on my work. Not always good either. I can not express the feeling of loss. My shop will be a very lonely place for awhile. As will many areas of our life.

I'm sorry to hear about your buddy. Hopefully he will send another companion to judge your work when the time is right.

SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SHOP MANAGER, RANDY.

Ooops, didn't mean to shout, that caps lock is too close to the A button for my big clumsy fingers

Sorry to hear about your friend, we seem to get so attached to our pets. But they are truly a gift.

Scrapper and I offer our condolences as well. My lab thinks he has to be carving (chewing on wood...) whenever I carve. We truly do feel your loss.

My condolences Randy! I know exactly how you feel. I don't know what I'd do if my little supervisor didn't come in and check on me now and then!
