Soon, another will be in the works, for my lab Mattie who is going on 15, and is not long for this world, My wife suggested I have it done. It will be a hammer gun of course grade two with picture of mature dog on floor plate and left lock picture of her a two months old and on the right lock picture of her at two years old. Also on the floor plate the dates 10/12/98--- ? It's the least I can do for such a great companion all these years! I am trying to figure out who to do the engraving. Gary

Gary keep us up to date on the project.

this Fox posting lists the engraver, Rich (C.O.B) could give you advice -his Gunner's tribute turned out beyond great. and there is the new member Noelle www.engravingbynoelle.com that has begun posting here.

I considered using a Fox but it in the end it just had to be a Parker. That is one nice looking Fox and I know how much that gun will be cherished.

Thought I would post a photo of the old girl, she has been on the front porch since 5 AM watching for critters!

I'm sure she takes great pride in her duties as guardian of the household. She is a fine looking companion.

bright eyed and bushy tailed she is...charlie

She has all the spunk she always had, just the back legs won't work very good she falls a lot, Vet says she has Cushin's a degenerative muscle disorder lot of trouble getting up and down but still does her business outside. I can tell you this if people had the devotion and love that a dog does it would be a better world! Gary
