Default Timber RIP

[B]Today Timber, our Champion Pointing Lab was laid to rest, the victim of advanced lung cancer. Rather that put her thru the Chemo business we made the decision to let her go with dignity.

She was 14 yrs old and did an excellent job on pheasants in Mid-March and found two long flying quail cripples in waste high crap as icing on the cake. Couldn't have asked for better work for her final hunt.

Always a terrible day when we lose an outstanding partner, one who hunted pheasants from the Dakotas, to New York and Mich for grouse, and to Georgia for quail. And on top of all that she had 5 litters, and was just one of some incredible outstanding dogs I have been privileged to own during my lifetime.

Last Sunday a 7yr old 4x Grand Master Pointing Retriever came home with me from a trip down to the trainer and a side visit to the Southern. Now two Grand Master females here who are currently looking for our missing Timber.

Make sure you guys give your best buddies a good hug this evening.

Take Care, Tom and Carol Kidd, Timber, Sugar, and Kate

I know the feeling Tom. I lost my two labs 6 months apart. We have some great memories gifted to us by them.

You have my sincere sympathy Tom.
Tobie, my wonderful chocolate lab took her last breath at 13 years, 9 months.

I guess that's the painful thing about owning a great dog - not a happy moment.

Sorry to you and Carol for losing Timber but hope Sugar and your new dog Kate will help ease the pain.
