Our beloved "wally" is gone

[Steve Hodges]

Chuck and Traci-

"“The perfection of a life with a gundog, like the perfection of an autumn, is disturbing because you know, even as it begins, that it must end. Time bestows the gift and steals it in the process.” – George Bird Evans, An Affair with Grouse, 1982

God Speed, Wally...........................

Chuck
That is so sad. We are all thankful to always have two dogs around. It makes the hole seem smaller in your heart.

Chuck I share like the others for you and Tracie to have lost your companion. They are here such a short time and we must treasure every moment in their playfulness, serious hunting moments and their soft eyes as they look for our approval. They touch our hearts everyday and when they are in danger we hover over them like our children. They are our children and we owe kindness to them everyday. Bless your dog who you will see again in the greatest quail field that ever existed. I guess I would have finally met you at the Sothern SXS last month which my daughter and I attended but perhaps another time. Nobody can ever take away our memories of our 4 legged companions not even time itself. Take care. David

So very sorry for your loss. They certainly are family and the best of souls. I think we have more to learn from them then them from us. There is nothing like their unconditional love....Wally was very lucky to have you and such a wonderful life...
