Default Update

Hello , I just wanted to post an update that Piper passed away on the morning November 17th here at home with me. We had learned at her check up in March that the chemotherapy was unsuccessful and that the cancer had spread to her lungs and there wasn't much else that could be done. Piper had a good Spring and Summer and I had hoped we would be able to get out in the fields again in early October for a couple short hunts. Unfortunately that was not to be as her health started to decline in late September. She was the sweetest dog we've ever owned and was loved by everyone and will be greatly missed.
Tim

Gary is right about getting another pup. While it seems disrespectful to the old dog, going ahead and getting a new dog is the best medicine for your loss. I have been there and done that

Ditto that. Lucy begat Duck who begat Chooch who begat Otis. Not a single regret moving on, as hard as it was to take that step. All chocolate Labs. My thoughts are with you at this tough time.

Taking my Lab Daisy (in my avatar) as a picker upper at a tower shoot on Thursday. As she is losing her sight, this may be her last one. Sure hope it's not.

Tim,

I am sorry to hear of your companion's passing. I have lost several over the years and it does not get any easier. They say time heals, maybe, but the memories keep flooding back. Best wishes.

Back from the shoot. 30 guns who were the gang who couldn't shoot straight. She only ended up with a dozen retrieves, and showed me she still is ready for another. She did have a retrieve on a nice Longtail. 36 bars

Nice work Daisy! I feel your pain John. Last weekend I worked pickup at our club for a shoot that released 400 birds and only 185 were bagged. I'm not complaining as the dogs and I get plenty of cleanup work. My 2 labs are around 11 but still going strong.

Next shoot is this Sunday and 2 PGCA members of note will be attending. Stay tuned for results and names of the participating shooters.
