Default Woods Flaming Abby

Well, we said goodbye to another faithful friend on Wednesday. Woods Flaming Abby was almost 16 yoa. She had been in the house with us for at least the last six years. I had been sleeping(?) on an air mattress or the couch next her bed for the last year. As all old dogs do, she had to be taken out multiple times during the night. She could not be left alone the last few months. So spouse or myself were with her 24-7. Another in the line of setters I have had since 1981 left us. We hope that all the birds hold tight, and she hunts the singles until she get into another covey every day. Hunt in peace Abby Lou.

William, I hope your memories of Abby and the years you had with her can help ease the pain of loss. I know that if you've had dogs as long as you have, this is not a new experience for you, but I also know that each dog is unique, and your time with them special. I'm sure you and Abby made the most of your 16 years together.
