I'm sure she was provided with as good of a life as anybody could give her. +100. May she rest in peace

This is one of the main reasons why I had to give up owning Brittanies. They were like losing children. Too much heartache.

For those of us that have more love for most dogs, than most people you meet these days....
I believe in a heaven, especially for dogs..
Dogs are man's greatest companions.. she'll be waiting for ya Safari when its your time...
Sounds you've already enjoyed many years of having a wonderful friend...that alone is a blessing, both for you and Cookie..
The pics show she was a beautiful looking animal....

Very sad. My Cookie passed away 4 years ago I can't get over losing her. We had her for 17 years.

My beloved Cookie crossed over today and now rests in a cottonwood grove where she loved to hunt doves and quail. I'm so sad right now I need to go. I want to thank everyone who followed her and my other setters here and shared our times afield. She was a truly grand old girl. As some here know who hunted over her, she always retrieved the downed birds to me, regardless of who shot them.  ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/jS11sGY.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/TCKSmmx.jpg) Jim got this blue grouse from me. Cookie knew who to take it to. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/phv6HlD.jpg) Sorry to hear this, Bruce. Cookie sure was easy to love, sure knew her job. If a bird dropped out of the sky Bruce must have shot it and that's who it's gonna be delivered to. Fond memories of that day!

Sorry to hear this!
Few things worse than loosing a great dog!
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Sorry to hear. Our 10 year old Pooh Retriever has cancer pretty bad and took a turn for the worse a few nights ago. I shot her full of steroids last night because she could no longer eat or drink. If that doesn't help she will take her last trip to the vet today. It will be rough especially for my 5 year old daughter who loves her so much.

The response to losing one's good friend is proof positive of their place in our hearts. They are special creatures and their passing always leaves us empty. Near impossible to avoid the tears.
All dog lovers feel your pain, including me.

I’m so sorry for your loss. They sure find away to wrap themselves around our hearts.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

I have no words that adequately thank all the members for their kind thoughts. One last photo of Cookie. To those who have a bit of her legacy still living with them here is how they looked many years ago. Kindest Regards, Bruce ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/C0B2MzJ.jpg)

No other loss is the same as a good dog gone.

I just got back from the vet and can now genuinely say I know how you feel. Our Shammy is now on the other side too.
