Missing my dog

[BoDarville]

Not sure the point of this post. Drinking beer next to the campfire listening to redfish busting mullet in the flats and everybody went to the tent at 8:30, usually it's me and the dog for the last 12 years tending the fire but now it's just me feeding the fire. I guess I just didn't understand how much I relied on her for a running buddy. Feel free to post pics of your good dogs and companions. Gonna be a rough duck season for me this year and would love to see some dogs living their best lives.View attachment 975740View attachment 975741View attachment 975742hang in there, and remember all those great times even though they’ll bring some tears. Our Max just turned 9 and is getting a beautiful silver face like yours.

I can only imagine. One of my girls is my shadow and I can tell she’s getting close to the end. Really sucks

Sorry about your loss OP

We had to put our old blue heeler down this week. It’s tough to lose a good friend and this one was even tougher with my two boys (3 and 7) going through it with us. We knew it was coming but didn’t make it any easier. He was 14 and lived a good life at least.

OP , I know what you mean about sitting around the fire with your dog after everyone else is gone. I used to do that a lot with my old boxer. She would sit by the fire watching my back. She was the dog of all dogs for me. Won’t be another one like her in this world.

Always like a new dawn when you have a litter Of French Britts. You wonder about their future and potential

This one would have followed me to the moon. On her very last dove hunt we were going around in the side by side and picking up hunters. My buddy had lost a bird earlier in the afternoon in a big thicket. I pointed to the thicket and sent her in. Ten minutes later several of us were gathered in the same place talking. My dog walked out of the thicket , dove in mouth, walked to the guy’s pile and dropped the bird in it. A short time later we had to put her down.
