Default End of an era

Sadly, today we said goodbye to Deacon Blue. He was our first and best Setter. An excellent bird dog and an even better companion. He was my buddy and will be missed by us all. Glad to have been able to hunt him twice last week. He performed like a champ and gave us no clue he was fading. Farewell Deacon, you set the bar for all the Setters that will follow you in our life.

We will miss his goofy way of checking our campsite out for a treat at Rock Mountain events.

One of life’s most difficult duties is to say good-bye to those we love the most.

I’m very sorry for the loss of your good friend Mike.

Sorry for your loss Mike, love the photo, it says a lot about him. First one or 21st one it gets no easier.

So sorry to hear about Blue. I enjoyed our visits when at the Rock. How old was he? Seems like yesterday when he first greeted us.

I'm really sorry to hear that Mike. It never gets easier but we continue on to the next pup after a loss just hoping they last a little longer and perform at least as well as the last one did in the field. My best to you and Sam.
