It would have been great to have someone with expertise like Bill’s on this thread. As we get older, we lose more of our friends. It never abates and I hate it. I miss all of my friends who have passed. I also miss the many bird dogs and retrievers I have had over the years. I remember them all and think of them often. I especially miss my two all-time best grouse dogs, Rusty and Stoney. They were both grand gun dogs and real characters.
Heaven for me would be a Tinkhamtown type experience with both Rusty and Stoney leading the way. Rusty was my first bird dog and Stoney came much later. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t think of them and the others. I was blessed for sure.
