[Phil C]

I hate to hijack my own thread but, Tomorrow is my first day of retirement and I promised myself to enjoy the simple things in life even more. My 1st day of retirement will be bitter sweet. One of my hunting partners for the past 14 years, " Jules" has taken a turn for the worst. I have tried to do my best to keep her going but last night she went downhill fast. She is resting in my bedroom on her bed by the gun safe where she has slept the better part of the last 14 years. I brought in the bird vest and laid it by her seems to bring us both a little comfort. I now just need to courage to do the right thing and take her to the vet for the last time in the morning. I thought I would share a few pictures of the good times we spent together, along with her daughter I lost last year at the age of 11.
