Sorry Oldtimer, it is sure hard!! Mike was just saying the other day that with each dog he has he thinks he will never love the next one as much, but we always seem to. My dog (9Yrs) is often laying on the grave of his dog, Osito, that we had to put down this spring. I think they know.

the only thing wrong with a good dog is their lifespan.I've buried a couple and feel for you folks.
Condolences.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Whenever we lost a pet, we planted a tree where we buried them. I explained to my daughters how their pets helped bring new life & growth into this world. They named the trees after their pets. We had left a place about six years & when we returned to visit (we knew the family who took the place over) the girls asked if they could give ‘Rusty’ some water. The tree was a great monument.

Its been a tough two weeks on us- but especially on Grandma...The day after Penny died Grandma's mom had a bad bleed in her head and she flew with her to Billings....They are both back home- but her mother is not doing good- paralyzed on the left side- and now refusing to eat Sad

But to add to everything last Thursday when I was checking cows- I took Sam, the year old Border Collie pup (which Grandma considered her dog now), with me....He's still kind of like a teenager and wanders dumbly around- and sometime during the day I came up missing him... Went back and checked where I last saw him digging in a gopher hole- checked the area again- then checked to see if he'd went back to the pickup... No luck...Never showed up at the home buildings- checked with neighbors and advertised on the radio...Been 5 days now with no luck- so I'm pretty sure a coyote must have got him.... Sad

I need to find Grandma a new dog- so going to have to start looking for a registered BC out of some good working parents....I still have my old male- and would like to find something I could raise some good pups with again- since the family has a history of raising working pups since the 40's....

Dang, you're on quite a roll OT, I feel for your loss. I guy doesn't always realize just what he has in a dog or how close he really is to the crittur until it's gone.
Good luck getting back on your feet with this deal, I know you'll make out fine in the end.

I am so sorry to hear about another loss Crying or Very sad

. That is just awful to have to handle all of it at once.

You might try contacting Jim Chant from Baggs, WY. He and his wife Patti raise nice ranch dogs, and trial as well. My Casey dog came from them.

Good luck in your search, and I hope things get better for you.
