The End Of A Sweet Run
 

My oldest setter (14.5 yeas old) passed away today. We hunted grouse together in 5 states so we have been on a long road together. There is a hollow spot in my life tonight. Sometimes life just sucks.

So very sorry Gary....

Yes Gary the empty feeling sucks but those fond memories makes the heart warm when we really need it. My condolences my friend. Jim

I know the feeling all so well. I’m sorry for your loss.

Gary

You said it all in the word “together “. We lose a bit of ourselves. Whoever came up with the phrase “Man’s best friend “ it the the nail on the head. Ole Grouse Hunters, tend to only speak freely to their dogs. Find a pup that gives you their eyes and start the conversation.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. :(

Gary,

Our Gordon, Cedar, is in her last days, succumbing to cancer at 9 years. I could not have more empathy for you. I don't think there is anything to say that lessens the pain, but as you have read in the posts already made, there are folks who care deeply about your loss, and all of us who have given our hearts to a dog share that loss. So hard to lose that friend, but so rich are we who have had that close bond. There is absolutely nothing like the relationship between a hunter and his/her companion.

I hope your pain is short lived and that the good memories burn brightly in the days ahead.

We, who’s hearts are owned by these wonderful dogs, dread these days.

Very sorry for yours.
