Title: Death in the family
Post by: cracker on February 05, 2013, 02:45:09 pm: Just a few minutes ago my wife called from my sons home where she taking care of getting his satelite tv installed while he is working. She was upset and crying his favorite hunting dog and a member of our family for 12 years had gone into a seizure "result of cancer" and had to be put down luckily my younger son was with her and was able to take care of things and bury Ol Buck.
But fellas don't feel sorry for Buck he lived a big life hunted hard drank beer and chased loose women,so to speak and for the last 5 years was a retired man of leisure. tonight when I get home I'll drink a bud light "his favorite brand " and toast his passing. Ronnie

Sounds like he lived well and was lucky to have a family that loved him. I've never stopped missing the dogs I've lost.
