Trico - rest in peace Buddy!

[crappyice]

Yesterday, I had to make the heart-wrenching decision to put down my Brittany, Trico. He was 15 and due to a rapid decline of his health, we decided it was time.

 

 

Trico was a tremendous dog - a great family pet Monday to Friday and would turn on his hunter instinct once he saw my bird jacket come out. The more thorn-choked and sloppier the terrain the better as he reveled in getting birds up from nasty places with no quit in him. I will never forget the “over the shoulder, are you shitting me?” look he would give me when I missed a bird he put up.

 

He was a gift from my wife for my first Father’s Day after Maggie was born and he stood as a constant reminder of her love for me. My wife is not a “dog person” but was willing to humor me and always cared for him and made the doggy-sitting arrangements when we were away.

 

Hunt ‘em up, Trico! Find the bird!

They are more than a pet, they are part of the family. Sorry for your loss ..

Sorry to hear this - but sounds like he was a was a member of the family and you got to enjoy his life with you.  Those are times and memories worth the hard feelings of loss now.

Sorry for your loss sir.

I am so sorry for your loss....I had dogs all my life and losing one was never easy....

Just remember that your life was so much richer for having Trico share  his life with you...

sorry to hear about your loss. 15 years is a longgg time. I grew up with an orange/white brittany, named Cody. He died at like 8 or 9.

So Sorry...  I am tearing up as I read this, as I lost my Springer earlier this year and it sounds like they were a lot alike..  We are so fortunate to have a good dog in our lives, but it makes it that much tougher when we lose them...

Loosing a part of the Family is never easy ... sorry for your loss !

Very sorry to hear about Trico.  Great tribute to a great dog!  

I was a mess saying goodbye to my 16 yo lab, Jake.  What helped was knowing that he had as peaceful a passing as I could have given him.  When @grampy told me he believes we would meet again one day, I took it to heart.  Trico's spirit will be with you always.  I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.
