A Good Bye To A Best Friend
« on: March 21, 2011, 12:05:04 PM »
I dreamed the day would never come, that I would have to say good bye to her. My 14 year old lab passed away this morning. Her name was hazel. Out of all the labs, me and my family have had. She was the best,smartest, most loyal dog. She has touched more then just my life. Several members on here have pups from her daughter and her lines. I was blessed to have her in my life and she will always be missed. As I laid her to rest today. I was saying my good byes, and for the first times in years. I heard a pheasant cackel out in the grass hay field, in front of our house. I looked up to see a beautiful rooster about 50 yards away walking threw the field. It has been years since I have seen a rooster here on our home place. Were he came from I don't know. But it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. Like he was paying his respects to a great bird dog. Here is a few pictures from over the years.

R.I.P Hazel you will always be missed.

Sorry to hear about your loss Carp!! Thoughts go out to you and your family. They are definately another member of the family. Well you have to know you gave Hazel someof the best times doing what she loved to do more than anything. Be safe as she is keeping an eye on you and yours.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Sorry to hear-
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

Sorry to hear about that Carp.  I sure hope you and your family rebound from your loss.  At least you have all the good memories.  Take care and hang in there.  John

Just remember all the good times you had with her and know that she was a part in bringing many past and future great moments to all the owners of her descendants.  :)

I'm sorry to hear that.  It's tough losing a good dog.  People that have never had one can't understand.
