Jon so sorry to hear of your loos for they are indeed family. We sign up for this heartache every time we bring a dog into the family. They give so much and ask for so little. Rest assured she will live in your heart forever.

Jon:

Words can not express the feeling of losing a canine hunting partner. I, as have many here I am sure, suffered the God awful feeling in the loss of a fine bird dog. There is a hole in your soul right now but.... your fond memories will keep her with you.

Best sympathetic wishes to you

Jon, So sorry for your lose. Many of us here have had to endure this part of life. She is gone in body but will be forever in your heart and memory.

So sorry for your loss.

so sorry to hear of your pups passing

It's been more than a couple years since we lost our wonderful and talented Wirehair, Eva. Her condition was not diagnosed, but her chest cavity was filled with blood. She was stoic to the end and I find I can't live without a new friend. Unfortunately, I haven't found her yet.

Jon,
I am very sorry for your loss, every time I read a thread like this in here, it makes me stop and realize how very lucky my wife and I have been to have our 3 dogs in our life. I am sure some day you two will be together hunting again.

Jon, She is waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge! Gary

Very touching, my Koko and Gracie are waiting for me on the bank of a river to show up and walk with them into eternity...

Thank you Bob. Your post reminds me of the Prentice Ritter quote in Broken Trail; "We are all travelers in this world - from the sweet grass to the packin' house - birth till death - we travel between the eternities."

I know my Abby will be there to greet me.
Jon
