Cancer. Firgrove Vet(Puyallup) offered an incredible price and did a great job with Widgeon's left front leg/shoulder amputation. His hair is growing back slowly from having it shaved but his heart is strong as always for hunting. He's 8.5 yrs old. 2 wks of R&R in the house and then we started playing fetch again every day. 1st pics are of him swimming(1st retrieve after surgery - 4wks) and the third pic is of him with a limit at 5 wks. He's got over 30 retrieves to his credit as of now including a couple doubles. He tires faster and is much more careful trekking around the marsh but is still doing great.

Oops, here's the limit plus my son with a few.

Damn, that’s serious heart. What a warrior.

My wife remodeled his vest with a piece from an older, worn out vest. Custom!!!

Choked up, awesome.

Nice! :tup:

I feel so bad for the little fellow, just glad he can do what nature intends for him.

Your a good man to your best friend.

I had a chocolate that lost her front leg/shoulder at 5 years old. She hunted til she was 12 and never missed a beat. She almost always out swam my partners dog on long retreives. She was an amazing dog. You have many years left with him. Don't think he can't do anything...they can.
-
That is awesome!

Boy I'll tell you what there is nothing on God's green earth better than a duck dog. Give that boy some belly rubs from me and tell him he is a beast!
