Condolences, it's always hard to lose a good dog, and she sounds truly exceptional.

Damn Tom, I am so sorry to hear this. May she romp the fields and streams of her dreams.

It's always tough. In pondering the relatively short lives of dogs I realized that the dogs I've had were really quite different. Each was distinctly unique. Each brought something special to my life. In May Miss Lilli the ratter will have reached her expected lifetime and she is beginning to show signs of a geriatric dog. Already I'm wondering what dog will find me (I haven't looked for a specific dog so much as they have found me when the time was right) and what wonderful revelations he will show me.

Count blessings for the visitation given without condition. Stuff like this makes my eyes a bit damp, might tip the glass more than once.
You know Etta will await on the other side, right?

Ed, we will raise a toast to absent friends in March as well. I just now read this and the first thing I did was get a Captain Morgan 100 and coke, I KNOW how much dogs mean to us. Remind me again in March so I can join in. This is the ONE thing that makes the internet great. If you take the time you still weed out the dubs from the GREAT ones and you are one of them.

I'm not a big believer on the other side....but I'm hedging my bets by having her ashes scattered with mine

So very sorry to hear of your loss, Tom. I'll bend an elbow for her later this evening. Why is it we keep bumping in to one another????

To our friends who lost their friends, my heart aches. We have been nursing along our little dog, Pixie the Wonderbeagle for months now. She's been near death twice, and has soundly send the Grim Reaper packing both times. She is on the couch guarding my dozing daughter as we speak. Actually she's snoring like a chainsaw and farting like a gas bag, but we love her just the same.
Here's to the hope that there's an Ingwedog 3 and you make her as happy as Ingwedog 2 appeared to be in those great photos.

Tom,
Sorry to hear that. It was good to recently see her, one last time.

I hate to hear about the passing of a great dog. God bless her, rainbow bridge or not.

So very sorry to hear of your loss, Tom. I'll bend an elbow for her later this evening. Why is it we keep bumping in to one another???? Honestly, I think it is because we can both recognize quality folks. I've had the pleasure of meeting Tom. We've chatted, done a little shooting and enjoyed a little bourbon. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting his pup, but I am a believer in the other side. Here's hoping that they are able to enjoy one another's company in the next life. God bless, CT

Sorry to hear this, Tom.
We all know you hold your dogs near and dear to your heart.
Tough day for sure.
It'll be a Maker's Mark salute from me.
Hang in there.
