Daisy, My Little Girl

[Brett Hoop]

These are the harshest of payday days, the ones where money wont pay the tab. Still a bargain for all the days of having a live in confessional, one that so well knows you and loves you, faults and all.

You have the best medicine available in Ike! He will be the beneficiary of all the tricks that Gunner and Daisy taught you. I am sure he will teach you some of his own also.

And I thank you for that post on him because it got me thinking of my own CESS (canine emotional support system ). Finn and I talked it over and we are looking into a little brother.

Rich,So very sorry to hear of Daisy,s passing. I know how much you loved her. Hang in there buddy.

We can pass on our old guns for future generations to enjoy. The lives of our beloved dogs so short in comparison, we can only keep them in our memories and take comfort that at least our friends understand the heartache and loss.
I know you will be smiling at the memories of Gunner and Daisy when that new puppy comes home.

Brett your CESS system is a good one but unfortunately I don't have one anymore. When Gunner died in 2012 there were three other dogs in the house and slowly they have now all left. Daisy was the last one and Ike won't be here until May. This is a very empty house without Daisy.

I went to the gun room this am to put her collar on the peg with those that have gone before and read the plaque Audrey gave me when Gunner passed and I'd like to share it, it reads "It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are"
