Believe me, I know how you feel. Those dang hunting dogs that hunt 'til they bleed in the field, swim 'til they freeze in the frozen water, do everything that is ever asked of them, sure know how to get us so attached to them.
Sorry for that. And, you just reminded me why I DON'T have a dog right now... the damn things become too much of the family, and the loss becomes just as great as a family member.
Damn, T-Bone. That is terrible. Very sorry to hear this news. Our shorthair is almost 10 and I get ill every time I start thinking about the day when he will no longer be with us. Best dogs ever... no doubt about that.
Real tough deal Tbone. Sorry to hear the aweful news. Take a little time and find some more great GSP blood to fill the void in your family's life!!
