My 10 yr old Brittany "Jake" lost his battle with heart problems just a little after midnight early this morning. Please say a little prayer for us if you have time, going to be a hard day, waiting on daylight so I can bury him next to his old hunting buddy "MAX".
R.I.P. little knucklehead. Gonna miss you.

He went peacefully in his bed, with his pack. That don't make it hurt no less. I'm sorry man, your pain is our pain, your tears are our tears.

Was gonna bump your thread last night before bed but didn't want to poke a sore spot with you so late.
Good boy Jake, go hunt em up.
Thanks ya'll. Just got done putting him to rest. Was not easy. He has a nice spot near the edge of the lake with a rose bush planted over him.

Was thinking about my Lab Jack before I open this. Lost him 1.5 years ago and think about him every day.
Very sorry for your loss.

Condolences to you. SOrry for your loss.
A MAN AND HIS DOG
A man and his dog were walking along a road.
The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him
that he was dead.
He remembered dying and that his dog had been dead for years.
He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of
the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken
by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch
that looked like mother of pearl and the street that led to the gate
looked like pure gold.
He and the dog walked toward the gate and as they got closer, they
saw a man at a desk to one side. When they were close enough,
he called out, “Excuse me, where are we?”
“This is heaven, sir,” the man answered.
“Wow! Would you happen to have some water?” the traveler asked.
“Of course, sir. Come right in, I’ll have some ice water sent right up.”
The man gestured and the gate began to open.
“Can my friend,” gesturing toward the dog, “come in too?” the traveler asked.
“I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t accept pets.”
The man thought for a moment, and then, turning back towards the road,
continued the way they had been going.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, they came to
a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed.
There was no fence. As they approached the gate, he saw a man inside,
leaning against a tree and reading a book.
“Excuse me!” he called to the reader. “Do you have any water?”
“Yeah, sure, there’s a pump over there”. The man pointed to a place that
couldn’t be seen from outside the gate. “Come on in.”
“How about my friend here?”. The traveler said, gesturing to the dog.
“There should be a bowl by the pump” said the man.
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an
old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink, then gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man
who was standing by the tree waiting for them.
“What do you call this place?” the traveler asked.
“This is heaven,” was the answer.”
“Well, that’s confusing,” the traveler said. “The man down the
road said that was heaven, too.”
“Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and the pearly gates?
Nope, that’s hell.”
“Doesn’t it make you mad for them to use your name like that?”
“Nope, I can see how you might think so, but we’re just happy
that they screen out the folks who’ll leave their best friends behind.”

Sorry for your loss. It's always tough to lose a good dog. Especially right before season starts.
Sorry for your loss, lost mine a couple of years ago before season started still think about her everyday.
