Personal: Bye to my old field partner

Tough day today. I retired Sam from hard field work 2 years ago and easy stuff last winter. I will miss her after saying a final goodbye today.

    Yeah--it's *really* tough when we lose our pals. Dogs are so good to us, such great field partners too. Sorry to hear.
