So sorry to hear about the loss of your loyal friend. I fear in a very short time I too will have just memories left of a loyal hunting companion.

Sorry Chuck. I remember when you got her. Seems not long ago, hardly 12 years.

So sorry for your loss. Those who never had a good dog just never understand how they are like favorite family members or kids to us. Time will help but you know in the end nothing helps as much as another pup. I am heading out this weekend to pick up my own replacement pup for one I lost a year ago. I still clearly see her last hunt like it was yesterday. If I get to heaven there will be several great dogs waiting for me and if I don't I hope a few of you fellows will take them hunting for me. They deserve it.

A good dog is a joy, and one truly loved is a painful loss.
I feel for you in your grief

What a great looking pup. My Eva, a Wirehair, is 11 years old and I am waiting for the inevitable. It has happened several times to me, since I am 71 years old. However, when Eva is gone, I will start a new puppy, either a Springer or another Wirehair. A veteran is probably a better choice, and I will look at that option. Bill Murphy in MD.

Such a beautiful dog could only have lived a life worthy of the class she was born with. Such a hole in your heart, Chuck, it pains me to know you are living each day with it.
May your joyful memories be more than your tears, and the rest you'll have to surrender to time.

There is sorrow enough in the natural way from men and women to fill our day; but when we are certain of sorrow in store why do we always arrange for more?

I some ways the quality of a man's life may be measured by the number of good dogs he has been allowed to associate with.
Still, it is never easy turning those corners and leaving a fine
companion behind.
My heart goes out to you & your bride and I hope the next fore footed companion proves as good.
