Had to put my hunting buddy down. I got him when I was sixteen years old and he was with me on my first ever waterfowl hunts. We learned everything we knew about waterfowl together. He was in my highschool senior photos with me. He was with me through college, outlasted any woman I have been in a relationship with and was always excited to see me everyday when I got home from work. He went to Canada 4 of the 7 years I have been up there and has hunted in 7 different states with me. He has retrieved thousands upon thousands of birds for me. He flushed and retrieved pheasants and quail for me for 5 years of guiding and he was the only dog I used most days while guiding for upland birds. He was there for me through everything that has gone wrong in my life and I had to put him down this morning and watch the life leave his body. Saddest day ive ever had. I just wanted to put some pictures up to remember and honor my bestfriend. You guys will understand the bond we have with our dogs better than most non hunters will ever understand.
