    Hey Mike sorry to hear about that......tough to find companions like a Lab, a new pup and a new Weatherby should help brighten your day
    Either way lots of great memories with the old boy.

    Puppy breath is great medicine, and I bet the old guy still has something left to teach the "Kid" and it will give him purpose. I have my Old Girls granddaughter and she is learning a lot off Granny.

    my old boy is 13 and now his job is when we set the decoys he just goes around and pee,s on stuff. he seems quite content to get back in the truck and wait for us to finish. I fear the day when they let me out of the truck to pee on stuff.

    It will be OK if you have a nice warm dry crate back at the truck LOL.

    It's a sad day when you realize it's time to retire them. Think about it if your dog is 13 it's like asking a 90 year old man to go out and retrieve your ducks. You can understand why they don't want to do it any more it's because they can't. Just before New Years I had to put down my old BL boy, would have been 12 in Feb. but this last Oct. he hunted wild Pheasants in Alberta quite well be it maybe only an hour to two hours at a time and he loved doing it. He wasn't much of a duck dog but Pheasants was his game, if he got their scent they were in trouble if I could keep up to him. I'm going to miss watching him hunt them up. You could say this last Oct. was his last Hurrah.
