So sorry to hear this Dean...all they ask of us is our love and care and knowing when to let them go. Take pride in the fact that you accomplished that for her.

Truly sorry to hear this. You have my prayers during this time of grieving.

Lost one of our goldens 3 years ago under similar circumstances. I think the Yunnan Baiyao bought him an extra month, but that's all. At the end all he wanted to do was lie out in the snow on the deck. Cold never phased him. Godspeed Gracie and we'll see you on the other side.

Been there, done that. Get a puppy as soon as you can, maybe a pair. James

Default Gracie…..

All of us know that its the dog that we are hunting for and mostly living for…and as we age we watch them run, hunt and have fun with the enthusiasm we had in our younger years. I am so sorry to hear this Dean …their lives are so darn short. The pain will eventually be replaced by the wonderful memories of her puppy years and the worthwhile days afield you had together.

Hoping that replacement comes soon for you….

Dean, we were extremely sorry to hear about your loss, and I understand completely as I lost my best friend (also a Setter) a few years ago to similar circumstances.

You may not remember, but my wife and I met you. your wife and Gracie at the Southern last year. We had our Ryman Setter, Molly, with us that day.

One thing I will always remember...when we left that day, we saw you two sitting in lawn chairs at one of the shoots, behind the PGCA tent. Gracie was laying under both of your chairs. She was a very beautiful setter...and it was obvious a member of your family. She will live on in your hearts.....
