Just lost my Claro

[William Machauer]

Claro was my chocolate lab. She was from my first litter. She took her first breath in my hands. I was the first and last thing she smelled.
Last fall she developed carcinoma, vet gave her 6 months, she made 7.
She had a hard life, allergies, pyometria resulting in an emergency spay, a complete knee rebuild, then arthritis taking over the knee, then cancer.
My Parker, her half sister and Sage , her niece are very confused,

The first and last pictures of Claro

Rest well, Claro, waiting for the next hunt with your man.

Their time with us is just too short. My condolences!

Sorry William. Having just lost two Setters last week, I know what you're feeling.

[William Machauer]

Two!? My god I cant imagine that. I'm truly sorry !

[William Woods]

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your companion. Know that most all of us have experienced what you are going through now, multiple times. Take solace in knowing that you gave her a good life

My favorite picture.
This bird was the first pull of the trigger on my CZ 410.being a melenostic bird i figured this bird, new gun and best hunting buddy needed to be remembered. I had the bird mounted and now Claro's collar hangs under it.
