Here as an old, deaf dog that still hunted great!


After he died, I quit bird hunting for a couple of years. But recently decided i couldn't live like that so, at 73 yrs old, I have a distant cousin of his about to be born. She will never replace him but will add to more memories.

IkenI, I have a similiar story. I had a chocolate lab "Queenie" that was the best duck hunting dog I ever had, hunted her till she was 10. Years down the road I was able to get a great grand daughter off of Queenie, "Grace". I made a couple of hunts with Grace but she was nothing like Queenie, part of that was due to her being 5 months old with Rita came through our area with all of it's loud noices so Grace never cared much for loud noises after that. My mom and dad still have Grace, she is spoiled rotten and just recently had double ACL surgery on her back 2 legs. She is doing well now. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
