Hey Bob,
Been involved with dogs and training working dogs for a long time. My grandpa used to run field trial beagles. Me, I’m a duck and upland bird dog man. Just a hobby trainer though.

A friend of mine, not long ago, shared something with me about losing a dog. I used to fight it, but the longer I ponder about it the more I realize how right he was. He said, “the best way to get over a losing a dog is to jump in with both feet and get another pup right away.”

I can tell you first hand that I fought against that advice for a long time. Since then I’ve put it to the test on no less than 3/4 occasions and I’m here to tell you that my mentoring friend was right.

I hate to see one go, but it’s part of the great circle of life, and so is getting another pup. Try it. It’ll make things a tad easier and your mind will be occupied with your new found friend.

I get it,Hoyt. Thanx! I'm lettin' the Ol' Girl shake out with me for a while and try driving it that way. I'm Lucky,as me and Mrs. Ham have been a 2 Dog Family forever! Ol' Sadie-Doodle is Our Yellow Lab. She's been recovering from an ACL Repair Surgery,so We're fortunate! Our youngest Daughter just became a "Foster Fail" and adopted her Lab Pup that came all the way from Alabama. I've been sent a video of Sadie and "Coop" gettin' to know each other! Twas' Heartwarming,to say the least! I've been getting alot better,cause' I turned hard into the loss,and have been better for facing it,and spanking out the grief! Thanx Hoyt,and Thank You All!! This Old Healing Guy's gonna have a coffee,and get ready for a renewed Saturday Appearance!
