Chuck,
I remember when you changed her name ......twice. You said when she had been with you a few weeks you changed it to Dammit-Jas. Then, later, to Good-Girl-Jas. She will remain Good-Girl-Jas.
I hurt with you, not because I am going through this same loss right now, but because I have, and I will again, and I know how it feels. I agree with John ...... God loves dogs. But, He also loves us. That's why he gave them to us to love, too. Good job, Chuck.
All my best buddy, SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Chuck,
So sorry for your loss. They are with us for such a short time, but brings joy, happiness, and love that will be remembered for a life time.

My sincere condolences. Losing a dog is one of the worst experiences, inevitable since they never last as long as us.
Every time I hunt my Uncle's farm it's a bittersweet experience, as there's a high hill overlooking all the fields, draws, and ponds that hold game, topped by a a fence row with a line of collars hanging on it. All my old friends now perpetually standing watch over it all.
Regards
Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

Chuck, there's always hope, the expectation that we'll find a way to get through this, maybe solace from another dog. In two hours, my wife and I will be looking at another dog. We wonder if there could be another Jake, who died two years ago. I'm 85 and it seemed too late to train and see another dog through. We wouldn't make impositions on family members beyond the grave.
A gunning buddy told me this week of a good four-year-old stud Lab who may be available in the near future. More importantly, and generously on my friend's part, he said he would happily take him if family members or I for any reason could not. If he's companionable and of Lab distinguishing tractable nature, we'll take him; his ribbons mean nothing to me. I'm hoping.

A great loss, Chuck. I very much appreciate the day we had up the Cuyama hunting quail with her.

It's tough losing a pal. A period of mourning is in order

Wish that the shotguns wore out in fifteen years and the dogs lasted hundreds.
The trouble with dogs is that they have all the emotions of humans. And so I grow attached to them. When my car starts getting old and I look forward to its replacement. With my dog it is just the opposite.
Sorry for your loss Chuck.

Beautiful dog, AmarilloMike said it about as good as a person can say it.... Sorry for your loss.
Best way to get over the loss of an old dog, is to get a new puppy....
