wow, 15 years, 3 women, 6 different houses and 10 kinds of food.....my boy is gone as of today. I have hunted, hiked camped and thrown the ball for the last time. Buck was the most loyal friend you coud ever imagine, never once in his life did he turn on me or the family. they say labs don't go 15 years, mine was a champ hunter for 12 and the last 3 he has crippled up pretty bad. 2 years ago I watched a wounded rooster out run him and I almost cried. pancreatitis did him in. I am truly sad. RIP, buddy.

Man.. They truly become one of the family, and when they leave us, they take a piece of our heart with them.

My condolances,one of life's great injustices is that dogs don't live long..Something about losing a good lab that you've hunted with that is almost unbearable to deal with..in a way it's tougher than loosing any human Friend..Do another lab a favor and go out and get a new pup and give it the best life you can.

Sorry to hear about Buck. Give Calli a hug for me, she probably misses him too. The way you talked of him he was a great guy to have around the house and field. Lee

Sorry for your loss. I too have a 15 1/2 year old lab whose day is coming soon as she is getting very crippled up. It is very sad to see them go down hill, just remember the good times.

Losing a good dog is like losing a close family member. It rips your heart out.
Just remember, he is running around pain free, and fetching birds in the Big Hunting Grounds in the Sky. Happy as a young pup.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.
Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

RIP.
Losing a good dog is one of the more painful events in life. Sounds like he had a long and very active, enjoyable life. Can take some solace in that.

I feel for your loss HC. I know that day is coming for me. Tony my Brittany is 11 years old. I know his life with me is slowly coming to a close. My Deepest Condolences, I know you will unite again at the "Rainbow Bridge.".........Bob

Hunting Upland Birds with a Brittany is the best dream anyone could ask for.

Did you have to put him down or did he just pass?
