Retirement for the old dog

[Tusker6N]

Looks like my dove hunting buddy is going to be retiring from the fields. I got Tikki 8 years ago as a rescue dog. She has earned her Good Citizens and Rally titles as well as finding doves like a champ.

She's gone down hill in the past 6 months and beat cancer 4 years ago. Never going to be able to replace her.

Sorry to hear. Just lost my ol girl Chloe about a month ago, sometimes I still swear I see her prancing around the corners in the house or I will reach to pet her curled up by my side... It's hard. Chloe made it to almost her 12th birthday.

I lost my 11 yr old female bloodhound 2 weeks ago. It's hard watching them go downhill. She was one heck of a tracker.

When God had made the earth and sky,
The flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals,
The fish, the birds and bees.

And when at last He'd finished,
Not one was quite the same,
God said, "I'll walk this earth of mine,
And give each one a name."

And so He traveled far and wide,
And everywhere He went,
A little creature followed Him,
Until its strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth,
And in the sky and sea,
The little creature said, "Dear Lord,
There's not one left for me."

Kindly the Father said to him,
"I've left you to the end,
I've turned my own name back to front,
And call you DOG, my friend."

I hope Tikki has a long and enjoyable retirement. Sounds like she's earned it.
