Old Dogs

I feel sorry for those that have never loved a dog. I look back at some of my old dogs and I think that they have moulded me into who I am. Kate had the most heart of any dog I ever saw. Out hunting years ago I shot a pheasant and it went down across an old dirt road, middle of nowhere. She got the bird and started back and here comes a truck out of nowhere, smashed right into her. Split her chest open, the skin, but she got up and finished the retrieve. Then I had to catch her as she was going out again. 22 stiches later, we went home.
Ace was one of the classiest dog I ever knew. He'd stop your heart on a point. He always seemed to have that little bit extra that most dogs just couldn't find.
Dude was just Dude. He loved hunting and was a happy guy. Used to crack his tail so hard he'd come in bathed in blood. One time he came in missing about an inch off the end of histail. He was still a happy guy!
Hannah was one of my all time favorites. She was my dog and made sure everybody understood it. Tiny was her daughter and the dog that got my ex into bird dogs. Lefty was Hannah's son. Pure white with a liver head, he ran a moderate All Age race in trials but handled like a gun dog. If he could hear you, he handled right now.
Well the ex brought over some old photo's and of course these guys are all there.

So who's got some old photo's of dogs past to share?

I myself had 2 coon dogs as a teen, a redboneXbluetick & a treeing walker. My best dog from my teens and early twenties was a German Shorthaired Pointer X Alaskan Malamute/Arctic Grey Wolf. He could do it all! Silent trail coon, tree squirrels, run rabbits,flush grouse and pheasant and retrieve geese & ducks. We never taught him a thing. He figured it out himself. When I left for bootcamp it tore me up to leave him! Not my family, girlfriend or friends. My dog!
