I had to put down one of the best dogs I've ever had this morning. She was a dog that loved to squirrel hunt. She wasn't the best dog I have ever hunted with, but I did kill a lot of squirrels with her. She would tree an occasional coon and even a possum now and then. But I didn't mind that.
She was just a pleasure to hunt with. If she treed a squirrel and I got it shot out she would get it and bring it to me. If I got tired and sat down in the woods, she would hunt around for a few minutes then come and crawl up in my lap. She would mind better than a child. She came to me when I told her to. She would get in the truck when I told her to. She didn't run deer, didn't run hogs, and didn't even look at armadillos!!!! She and I hunted together! I didn't have to hunt for her or hunt to find her.
I'm not looking for pity. I'm just giving credit to a dog that made a big impact on my life. She loved me unconditionally. If other people were hunting with us and one of them killed the squirrel, she would come across two hollers to bring the squirrel to me. That can't be replaced! May She rest in peace!!!!
She is the dog in my avatar. I don't have any pictures of her on my new phone so I can't upload one here.
It's amazing how a dog can get such a hold on our heart.
Jez, may she rest in peace!!!!!
