Two years ago today

[BeanMan]

Two years ago today I had to put down my best buddy Sparkey. I still get teary eyed thinking about the 17.5 years I got to spend with him.

Condolences Fred
Tough for sure!

I remember when you posted that buck pic on here

Great pictures and memories of your best friend. Thanks for sharing.

Truly a mans best friend! Great pictures

 

[SS!]

Dang!

In the top picture I have just missed a coyote and Spark is watching it run. He was disappointed in me. Bottom picture cost me $275 fine for “allowing an animal under my control to harass wildlife: to wit, a Marmot.” Memo to self; don’t pictures of your dog killing a Marmot on facebook.

I had a little Jack Russel that looked a lot like him. She's been gone for 6 years and I still wish she was around.

Sorry Bean. Was thinking of my old friend today looking at pics from a few years back too

I'm sorry Beaman. I lost a much loved German Shepherd over 20 years ago. It took me a long time to accept his untimely death and the loss of him.
I heard a comment one time- put your dog and wife in the trunk of your car. After 2 hours let them out and see which one is happy to see you. ?

Can’t think of a better “do it all” dog. We have a 9 year old female and a 1 year old male .....the female goes just about everywhere with us....rides on the tractor, deer hunting, grocery store....you name it. Great dogs. If you haven’t yet...get another one.

I was going to ask about the marmot. Damn! At least you got a cool story and pics for your $275. Spark did good - those damn whistle pigs are destructive.

My Gus got a snowshoe bunny a couple years ago. But he was a minor hunting under my small game license.

BTW, who (entity) wrote you the ticket?

CPW,
My Wife posted the pick on facebook. A couple of days later I was sitting on my front porch having a beer after work and heard gravel crunching in our driveway, you have to want to get to our house so I was curious who was coming up the driveway. It was the CPW. He said, “I‘ve got a problem” I’m thinking wtf can I do about your problem and not being a poacher I had a clear conscience The problem was with our dog, he waved the picture, printed off of facebook, “is this your dog?” He asked how many Spark killed, “just the one”...

 

[Bluehair]

I’m shocked by that. I hope he/she was at least apologetic. I hope you told Sparky he was still a good boy.

 

[BeanMan]

Blue, Frank was an a$$hole about it. He’d even seen my post on Monstermuleys where I had pictures of Spark biting dead coyotes. He informed me it was also illegal to let my dog kill coyotes which 17 pound JRT’s doesn’t do and I would not have let him do because I wouldn’t want him to get hurt doing So.

Annie and Tyson, they are two of my best friends

I sure hope my backpacking buddy sticks with me for that many years. They truly are some amazing friends.

I'm very sorry about your dog. 17+ years has gotta have a bunch of good memories.

I had to out down my Jack/Red Heeler a year ago February 19th. Casey was also 17, she would have been 18 on May 31th. It's hard--I still miss her. Smartest dog I ever had. She's at the rainbow bridge--probably playing with Sparkey. I know the heart ache. Bob
