Chris, You were lucky to get 16 years with your hunting buddy. I'm sure your pup was loved and cared for, and he got to do what he was bred for -- what more could you give your pup? I wish you happy memories of those 16 years as you work through this loss.

Being a dog guy myself all I can say is I know how you feel. Been through it many times. All the best to you with deepest sympathy.

Gene Hill said God made their lives short so we could enjoy more of them in our life. I can tell you that I lost the dog of my life nine years ago this Christmas morning while our kids opened presents oblivious to the fact he was being put down. It’s hard every year but it eases a little with time. I’ve found the biggest help was friends who understand what a bird dog means to a man. I don’t know you but I can share your pain.

Very sorry to hear Chris. I'm glad he got to spend 16 full years with you. He will never be gone if not forgotten.

thank you for sharing this, I am glad he got 16 years with you, we have a 13 year old havanese, I see his health declining, he has been well cared for as I know your dogs have been.

Chris, I'm so sorry, he was very lucky to have have you as his master and to be loved. It doesn't make the hurt go away, but someone here once said it wouldn't be heaven if we don't meet up again with our furry friends.
