It's never easy, I had to say good bye to Magic last year but I know he is in a better place both his and my ashes will be spread on a cover we both loved. My she rest in peace and my prayers to you Dean. Eric

My condolences Dean, Gracie was such a sweet dog, loving of the life you provided for her. They go too soon, but are cherished while they are with us. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our prayers are with you…

So sorry Dean. Our bird dogs are such a gift. The joy they give us can’t be measured. We all know the last day will come, sometimes sooner than later. Even knowing doesn’t make it any easier. It feels like a part of us is torn from our heart. We grieve for a while but remember all the hunts and special things our dogs did to endear themselves to us. Then after saying “I can’t go through this again.”, what do we do? Yup, we start that journey all over again. As Setter lovers, can we really fool ourselves into thinking we will not have a Setter by our side whether in the field or at home? Hang tough Dean, there’s a Setter pup with your name on it when you’re ready.

So very sorry for your loss. She is in a better place waiting for you.

Dean. You and Gracie will always be connected. I know how special she was to you. Thinking of you during this difficult time my friend.

Thanks Frank and thanks for your telephone call the other night.:bowdown:

Dean: I love the picture on the boat. What a treat!

Very sorry to hear Dean. I hope you can find some peace and smile about the good times.

Grace loved boat rides and to sit right up in the bow with the wind in her face.

Always the hardest part about dogs, we usually out live them.

Dean,
We're very sorry for your loss and we have you in our prayers.
Take care
Tim

I’m so sorry.

Dean, at 78 years old, I have had 75 wonderful years with setters, with a pointer or two squeezed in. I even had setters when I was working for Uncle Sam, with my dad as custodian. You will survive this bump in the road and come out with another dog of your life. Press on, my friend.

My condolences Dean for both your losses.

So sorry, Dean! Very tough duty!

Dean I am so sorry ! I'm going to skip how I know and straight to what I do know. Jesus said in heaven the lion will lay down with the lamb. If there are lions and lambs in heaven , Surely there is room for a good dog ! RIP Gracie

Mr. Dean,

I just read of the passing of your Gracie. I was unaware of the loss of your wife as well. My condolences on both losses. Only those of us that have these hunting partners know their value and meaning to us.
