during this years waterfowl season...the wee brown fella came for a lazy day out...we took my double kayak and he sat behind me while we paddled around lake wainono....managed half dozen mallards and 3 big feral geese...Nugget couldnt see what was going on but his nose told the story...happy as a pig in pooh he was in back of boat crowded in by birds...then in afternoon after a huge paddle we cruised back across middle of lake...birds all around us,geese both canadas and ferals...black swans..mallards..paridise ducks..grey teal and black teal/scaup buzzing all around us...it was pure bliss for us both.
over last 6 months Nugget has got slowly worse...eyes kept gunking up no matter what we tried...a few lumps were noticed when he was groomed in spring and his breathing was getting laboured..
I gave him hind legs of hare for dinner yesterday and he scoffed them down... today he not so flash..slowed right down and breathing was shocking so decision was made to send him up to big duckpond in sky....lookout all you hedgehogs,the holiday is over.
Sleep well my faithful buddy.

It gets worser each time to say goodbey... and remember: you'll survive each dog except your last...
not everyone can understand the connection between a hunter and his (or her) dog...

When my little Brussels, Bernie, passed away last June I left her crate/bed in the den. Yesterday my other Brussels, Widget, dragged the bed out of the crate and into her bed. I guess we're not the only ones who miss them when they go.
I'll be thinking about you Elvis.
