Put Best Friend Down Yesturday

[BILLY D.]

Dan

I don't doubt your statement one little bit. Don't bother trying to forget, you won't. It's wasted time. Talk to him like he's still there. Everybody else will think your crazier than an outhouse rat, so who cares already. It's part of healing.

My old Lab Beau was my constant companion. I'd be cooking and ask him about what we should be puting in there and he'd sit in the middle of the kitchen floor and look at me like he really cared.

A while back I finally made a decision to get another dog and Nulle mentioned he had one. He told me what it was and I did some on-line reading about the breed.

Well I just love him. His previous training was lousy. He does most things well now except dropping the bird. He can smell a pheasant a mile away. Great flusher and retriever. Every once in awhile I slip and call him Beau, he doesn't seem to mind at all.

Don't be afraid to be sad and miss your partner. It's only human.

Best wishes, Bill
