Goodbye Dixie

[GreenDrake]

The moment I have dreaded finally came Saturday. I had to put my dear Dixie down. She was the sweetest most amazing bird dog I have ever owned or had the honor to hunt over. 15.5 years old. I am still torn up.

Hardest part of owning a dog. It will hurt for a while. We as dog owners dead this day but it's the love that you had for her that means the most. I feel for you and each day will get better. She looked like a sweet dog and a mighty hunter!

So sorry for your loss, I know the feeling well as it has happened to me more times than I care to remember, and there is nothing that can be said to make me feel better when they pass as they were my best friends.

I found out long ago it is a part of life and something I was going to have to deal with if I wanted to be involved with hunting dogs. Dixie can never be replaced but jumping back in with a new pup goes a long way in easing the hurt.

Sorry for your loss .

Over the past 70 years , I have had to have 2 dogs and 2 cats put down . The animals become just like family and it hurts to have that done . The 2 cats and one of the dogs were cremated and we have their remains on our fireplace mantel . I still miss them .

So sorry man. I had to put my baby girl down last year. I still miss her.

Thank you all. We all have to bear that one time or another.

My condolences.

They take a piece of our soul when they pass, but they leave memories for us to cherish.
