Red Forrest Julius Cesear, aka JC, RIP

I am not sure if I actually have a favorite dog of all time, but JC would definitely be in the top 2, I have had 5 aussies in the last 20 years, JC was with me until July 4th of this year.  He just disappeared, It was heartbreaking.  I live on a river and I have a pier that goes out into the water about 70 ft.  JC loved to sleep on the pier in the morning when it was cool and the sun was shining.  I believe that he fell into the river and was not able to swim out.  He was almost 15 yrs old and his hips were about gone.  He had a good life, but I hate he went that way, just gone one morning.
