    valeJJ

    just home from the vets -have let my loyal and faithful companion of 10yrs free to roam in the wide blue yonder.
    Itype this through tears ,but laughs as well as i remember the antics he got up to!ne'er a trip to bottle store to fil la jar without JJ wanting to take a seat in the truck.big bastard would do everything short of going in an getting the beer.this last week though he went down ,but a shadow of himself.spent a couple of days with GSP Follower where alas we had to put his dog down too,as he was very unpredictable-bloody tough on his lordship but with typical stoicism he did what had to be done.however we will go forth with many a fond memory. BTW-JJ you old bastard i hope wherever you are you pick up shot ducks and dont do what you did to me-"bugger you you shot the bloody thing -you carry it

    REST IN PEACE till we meet again!

    @TimeRider and gadgette#3 will not be happy, nor me. Loved the look on his face when he staked his position in the new wagon.

    Some times I think someone screwed up making dogs have short lives!!

    THE LAST BATTLE (aka If It Should Be) – Author Unknown

    If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
    And pain should keep me from my sleep,
    Then will you do what must be done,
    For this last battle can’t be won.

    You will be sad I understand,
    But don’t let grief then stay your hand,
    For on this day, more than the rest,
    Your love and friendship must stand the test.

    We have had so many happy years,
    You wouldn’t want me to suffer so.
    When the time comes,
    Please, let me go.

    Take me to where my needs they’ll tend,
    Only, stay with me until the end.
    And hold me firm and speak to me,
    Until my eyes no longer see.

    I know in time you will agree,
    It is a kindness you do to me.
    Although my tail its last has waved,
    From pain and suffering I have been saved.

    Don’t grieve that it must be you
    Who has to decide this thing to do
    We’ve been so close – we two – these years,
    Don’t let your heart hold any tears.

    Condolences Kotuku. It's big gap to fill, but time heals a lot of things. Good memories will flow when going past, or doing different things.
    That's a cracker of a tribute @mikee. I'll have borrow it and give it to my kids. Theyre still missing our pet

    My thoughts are with you Kotuku.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
