Also posted on that list was the statement that he will not be getting another dog because his wife doesn't want him to. If that's true, that's piling heartbreak on heartbreak.

Fly and Attilla's performances just made wonderful music with my heartstrings. I am so saddened she's gone. I am a big fan of BCs, but know they aren’t the breed for me.

The Chaplin routine that's linked to is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Who says dogs don't have a sense of drama and of humor? Fly is laughing along with the gag, every step of the routine. I was kinda surprised, too. The Chaplin routine that’s linked to is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.

Maybe American audiences are just not familiar with Attila and Fly. That Charlie Chaplin video surpasses even Carolyn Scott and Rookie, and they were Greats in the Sport. Dr Szkukalek gave up his career as a biochemist in genetic engineering to become a full time dog trainer, espousing operant conditioning methods. I am sure his heart is as broken as all of us would be and have been when our beloved dog dies. Wait for him Fly, and when he comes over the Bridge, give him about 6 feet to make it safely on to the grass, then go between his legs, turn around and slap him on the butt with your forepaws!

Storm and I started a freestyle class and to do a very simple routine took a long time to teach. I can't imagine how long that one took to perfect. Wow, so amazing!!
