This was her dog whom she picked from birth and brought him to be her dog to grow and hunt along with me and Dessa her Pal.. This so painful. This Brit became a child for her as she has no children and probably never will. Please keep our daughter Perry in your prayers and Drue and David the grandparents of Parker our sweetheart Brittany.These dogs become a fiber in our hearts and they like our hearts are fragile. Always treat them with kindness and cherish the look they give us that says"I love you and am happy to be with you. Thanks for bringing me along"

I'm very sorry to hear this, David!

"The perfection of a life with a gun dog, like the perfection of an autumn, is disturbing because you know, even as it begins, that it must end. Time bestows the gift and steals it in the process." George Bird Evans

Sorry the time was so short...

That's Millie, Joe. Here she is with her new owner...my good buddies teen age son's first pup of his own. I'd say that they both have a lot of fun ahead!

David, I'm so sorry to learn of the loss of your pup. The death of a beloved dog is such a difficult passage in our lives. I hope that you, Perry, and the rest of Parker's family can find solace in the wonderful memories you must have.

Hi George! I wasn't familiar with Valley Fever and in fact initially assume it may be like cabin fever and that you both were just missing the season and days spent in the valleys.

However, upon looking it it I see it is real, it is serious and the recovery can be long. May y'alls recovery buck the trend and things improve quickly!

David, Drue, and Perry our prayers are with you during this painful time. May the Lord help you to remember all of the love and happiness that this wonderful family member brought into your lives, and bless you in your time of grief.

Dave, my prayers and condolences are with you and your family in these troubled times. Lost my two boys last year a month apart to old age but very hard none the less. ��Jim

David this tragedy is just unimaginable - what a horrible turn. We truly feel Perry’s pain and yours and hope by sharing your pain it relieves some of yours.

Dean and Kathy
