Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
I am not a waterfowl hunter, I chase grouse and pheasants.
For me it is the collar bell for each dog. Many years ago I bought a string of brass sleigh bells and each puppy gets their own bell. And each one makes a unique sound.
The collars and bells sit on a shelf with pictures and like you if I am feeling down all I need to do is pick up a collar and the memories flood back.
These I will have forever.
