We had 2 chocolates back then, a slim female named Jasmin and a brute named Matey. I hunted several years out there, never ideal but mostly a good time. We went to red labs after the chocolates. Our current "old guy" will be 13 in January. Know what's coming but sure not ready for it.

I lost the dog in my profile pic right before hunting season, he was 15 and hunted all over the country and gave me so many memories. But honestly, the thing I think I miss the most is him following me around the house, and laying by feet in the evenings. These dogs give us so much, and live way too short. All the best to you.

I agree with that. Every time I come up from the basement I talk to her & reach out to pet her
