Had to put my Brit down last night. Today is not a good day.

We are such dog people around here... frown

I always used to have a pup in waiting when my adult dogs got near the end. Not this time, thought I would maybe take a break for a while. Sure... right....

This is the first day in the last 34 years I don't have a dog.
Gonna fix that pretty quick I think. wink2

Anybody knows of any available pups purebred of mixed let me know, I'll consider everything.

Here's to Lizzy another great Brit in a long line of Brits!!

She loved to play "where's the squirrel...

Feel your pain.
It's been almost a year since I had to put my dog down,;still hurts big time. Trying to go with out a dog in order to free up time for travel....but nothing replaces a faithful friend.
Good Luck in your search for a new pet and enjoy the warm memories of Lizzy.

Pat, Sorry for your loss. It's hard loosing part of your family. I would not rush into it. Just collect your thoughts and do it when you're ready. We opted to wait and decided to get some rescue dogs.You've seen what we got and would not trade them for the world. Go to petfinder.com, lots of pups there

Very sorry to hear of your loss. It's never easy; just know you gave her a great life and she gave it back to you 100%

You can say anything foolish to a dog, and that dog will still give you a look that says, "WOW!! What a great idea!! I never would have thought of that!!"

Thanks very much everybody...

Honestly I just couldn't stand the thought of being without a dog. I've had the name of a very highly recommended breeder in SC for a while so I decided to give him a call to see if by any chance he had any Brit pups that might be ready soon.

Holy cow do I have good timimg... or maybe it's "LIZZY KARMA"... But either way I caught him with a litter that will be ready to ship 11/14 and I had my choice of 3 females one of which is Black & White a color which is a little unusual for a Brit.

Anyway after a long discussion with the breeder and some real time videos my wife Nancy and I have decided to take the plunge on this beauty...

Meet "Josey Jet" !!!!!!



Here's a pic of Mom & Dad at the beach with the litter. Dad's got some pretty impressive blood lines with several champion bird dogs in the history. Maybe I'll hunt her and maybe I won't... but for sure she'll be part of the family!

Pat, sorry for your loss. I know your pain. I put my dog down in January. He was with me every day for all 10 years he was here. I own my own business also, so he came to work with me every day, and made all my deliveries with me too.


The Rainbow Bridge
An Touching Memorial Poem, Author Unknown

The Rainbow Bridge...

Just this side of heaven is a place called The Rainbow ridge.

When a beloved pet dies who has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to The Rainbow Bridge.

It is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.
There is always plenty of food and water and sunshine;
our friends are warm and comfortable. Those old and frail animals are young again,restored to health and vigor. Those who have been hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again.
The animals play all day;
they are happy and content with each other.

But, there is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth; the one who had to be left behind. Then the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent;
the eager body quivers. Suddenly she breaks away from the group,
flying over the green grass; her legs carrying her faster and faster.

You have been seen.

And when you and your special friend meet, you take her in your arms and embrace. The happy kisses rain upon your face.
Your hands again caress the beloved head.
You look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet.

And then, together, you cross The Rainbow Bridge.
Never to be separated.

Sorry to hear your loss Pat, I know the feeling all to well. Had to put my 14 year old Shorthair down 2 months ago, for the first time in over 57 years there is no dog to greet me. Sucks. At least you're getting another quickly and that's good medicine.

Pat, still mourning the loss of Amber our chocolate lab of 14 years that we put down 8 weeks ago. We have an adopted black and white tabby cat, Emily, (I used to hate cats but she has won over my heart and their longevity seems to be longer). I hope the healing process for your loss progresses quickly and you make the decision that will bring you peace.
