I lost my dog!
« on: July 15, 2008, 07:30:07 PM »
On july 14 I got up let Ruger(my Pointing lab) and Rudy(German shorthair pointer) out for the morning to strech before being kenneled for the day while I was at work,got a 10 minute shower got dressed and headed outside got there and both where gone. I had just got Ruger back from bootcamp and I was so sick when after 12 hours of running everywhere and didnt find them. I live out east of Gold Bar so they could have gone up or down river. If any of you have any info please call me at 206-920-4612

You and your pets are in my preyers Whitey, I know how I would be feeling right now if I were in your shoes.  Good luck with getting your bestest hunting buddies back.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

thieves suck. its one thing to swipe an object, and a whole nother thing to take an animal that misses you as much as you miss it.

friend, i wish you and your pals the best of luck.

I called and explained to the breeder and Rugers trainer Doug and Alice Burnett of Cooke Canyon,It was hard on them as well as Myself. We got to talking about this up and coming season and the plans I had for Ruger and Me, Doug said I have some started dogs if you are interested. He said for what kind of personality I have the started lab he didn't think would work,He said but I have a German wirehair pointer that would work. We talk a little about price and I was floored by his good will. So the "puppy breath thing" is what is needed, Not to mention this dog has already been through Doug's 2 month upland bird school and worked over on water retrieves. He said this dog is a great dog and He thought We would make a good team. So over to Cooke Canyon I go. Thanks again everybody..Whitey

Wayne on the point of getting a started dog, I was thinking I might be missing out on what I think is a very important part of the dogs life is the "bonding" We all do with are dogs when they are pups.I am kind of torn on this issue. Should We start another thread? What do you think?

Whitey...  I love the puppy bonding stage's also, but I have had dog's that I've saved from either along side the road, and from the pound. All older dog's, and have had just as strong a bond as I've had from a puppy. On a side note...  none of those dog's were my hunting partners, so don't know if that would have made a difference in the field. If it were me in your shoe's...  I'd go spend a day with the dog...  when it's time for you to leave...  you'll know what's the right thing to do.    Good Luck...  I really hope this work's out for ya.

Sorry to hear about the news Derek!! I know how much you care for your dogs. Wounds will heal in time but memories will be there for as long as you live. I hope your new dog works out. Take care of yourself.

Dang Whitey, am very sorry to hear about your loss.  Hopefully the wirehair will help absolve you and your family of some of the pain being felt at this point.  Good luck, and sorry for your loss.
