Bruce,
We miss our hounds as much as we love them. I suspect there are some wonderful days afield that will be remembered forever. Cherish them. Your friend, Steve Kleist |

What is a dog?
Unconditional love; Unconditional dedication; Always ready to have fun - whether at work or at play; Loves approval and accepts admonishment... reluctantly; But comes back happily when you say "Okay, come on - let's hunt!" And then, too soon, they leave us... feeling pretty empty. I'm sorry for your loss Bruce. |

Thank you my friends. A very hard day. He was my friend and constant companion for 13 years. A big running, open prairie Elhew pointer, out of the fabled Snakefoot and Agitator lines. A never stop, alpha dog and sometimes our only bird dog for a line of five hunters. He hunted for people who are now themselves gone, Roger Giles, Sam Shepard. We bagged hundreds of birds over him, fed him steak scraps from the cattlemen's cafes and rolled down the windows. He had been failing but we got him a few hours on birds last fall. I knew it would be his last, so go we all.

I have forgotten many people I have met and interacted with, yet remember bird dogs from over fifty years ago. Their memories never leave; including the times I was damn mad at them, and the times I was astounded at some miraculous thing they just did.
I am sorry to hear of your loss. A bird dog trainer once told me he really believed that on some level we don't yet understand, they read our minds. Get another pup, and start over, as miracles are yet to come. Sam Ogle, Lincoln, Ne |
