Modern medicine gives us a pill for all the aches and pains we feel as we get older, but there isn't now, or ever will be a magic pill that eases the pain we feel, on loosing our true best friend. There is some comfort knowing we aren't alone in feeling that dull, but very real ache of emptiness. The remedy doesn't come from the medicine cabinet, but from the vast memories we made with our best friend. It's the one cure we will never overdose from.

Lucy was special Craig. She had a wonderful sense of energy and drive. You and I often bring up her blind retrieve in S. Dakota and relive it as it was textbook. That's what bird hunting is all about. You know how I feel. We shall raise a glass soon to all our bird dogs, past and present, at our next shoot. RIP Lucy.

Sorry to hear this news . . . .

Craig, I am so sorry for your loss of Lucy and I too know how you must feel. One of the hardest things we can do even though we know it's best.

Craig I am sorry to read this. Good dogs are special.

Can't say anything more than what has already been said, but... Black Labs Matter

I'm so sorry to hear Craig. Our hunting dogs are among our closest and most dear friends. They give us unconditional love and herculean effort in the field. I don't know who said it first but I cetainly agree "If dogs don't go to heaven, I want to go where they are when I die."

Craig,

I have lost many dogs in my lifetime, and it doesn't get any easier. I feel the sorrow that you feel in your loss. Know that you gave her a good life.

Craig, they go too soon, always sad but the memories are grand! Best to you.
