 12 1/2 years?  Man, that would be great if my Bailey would live that long.  Btw she is fine and up to her normal bad behavior.  She is a great dog and loves us and we love her.  Sorry to hear of your loss.  Although, you have been blessed to have such a long time with your pet.  I can only hope to be able to have as long of time with mine. My grandmother also had a Springer.  She also had a portrait of hers as well.  Great, loyal, and loving dogs.  Mine is a little possessive and nuerotic at times.  She likes to make faces too.  Here is a classic from her puppy years.
