I’m so sorry Jon. It tears our hearts out when we lose our beloved dogs. But if it’s any consolation, Abby will be wagging her tail and waiting by the door for you when it’s time to join her.

Thank you Dean. Abby would have been 12 on Valentines Day.
What adds to the tragedy is, except for the tumor, she was in incredible physical condition for a setter her age. We still have Annie Oakley, who is also mourning the loss of her best friend and hunting partner. We plan to breed AO next heat. |

Jon, it's hard to know what to say at times like this. There are many of us who feel your pain of loss and your story brings back our own sad memories. Just know that what you had with Abby will never leave you. As you wrote, she will be running free and easy, and in my belief, she will be waiting for you to hunt with you again some day.
I hope you find peace.

Way to go Jon!
New pups will certainly keep you busy and take away the raw pain. .

Dogs will guarantee you two things: unfettered devotion and in the end, a broken heart.
Sorry for your loss, Jay |
