Miss Sugar.

It has been a while since I was guiding upland bird hunts. Miss Sugar was my number 2 dog and she was extraordinary. With well over 2000 birds pointed and bagged she did a pretty good job, solid points, always honored and simply a joy with the guests. She had a thing for quail above all else. couldn’t count the number of times she pulled off a rooster or chukar because she got a a little quail scent. I guess she hated quail. She was the absolute worst retrieving GSP I ever owned. We had to put her down today. She will be missed.

They all have their individual characteristics, strengths and weaknesses. Sorry for your loss.
But you will fondly remember the cherished adventures for years to come!

I've had dogs all my life, and some good ones. Dogs, are truly man's best friend! Sorry for your loss!

So very, very sorry for your loss. I've had to do that twice in the last three years. For those of us that have had and known special dogs, or animals, we've had a treasure that defies monetary value.

Sorry to hear this Don. Dogs are family and give unconditional love.
My Lab could hear me turn into the development when I was still driving my Peterbilt a mile from the house, the wife said he would start wining and running through the house and wait for me at the top of the steps, he got so excited once he leaped into my arms from the top of the step about eight feet away. Nothing like having to catch a 125lb dog flying through the air.
Putting him down was the hardest thing I have ever had to-do and have not been able to get another dog since.
There's not a day goes by that he isn't in my thought's one way or another.
Enjoy the memories they will last a lifetime.

Don, sorry to hear this about your beloved pet. Been a long time since I had my last beagle and the one that was the best still has fond memories for me.

Thanks guys. 15 years is a long life for a GSP. She was a great one. I’m up at 0300 this morning because Molly has been beside herself all night. I pulled Sugar’s blanket out of her crate and put Molly by the fire, seems to have calmed her down. Molly will be 15 in a couple weeks. Think I’ll try to find a pheasant over the next couple days with her.
