Putting my Lab down


Dbl

Recommended Posts

Journey well Wilson. Dan, you gave him the best life he could have ever had. He did what he was made to do, something most dogs dont get the chance to.

It is not easy to let a loved one go, with time the pain will fade.

We had to put our Lab down last July and we have a springer that will go soon.

Cherish the memories.

Good Luck,

Mike

What a beautiful fellow. No doubt you gave him more than a dog could ever ask for and he returned the favor. He's now chasing pheasants with no seasons and no bag limits.

I truly do feel the pain you are going thru. We just had to put our lab "Gunther" down in October, just before hunting season began. It is exactly like losing a family member. His ashes are above the fireplace until the ground thaws and we can properly bury him at a favorite spot. I will need to look for a new dog soon (as I hunt phesants) but he can never be replaced. We will think of are lost buddies often again as we visit areas again where you had gone previously. Wishing you my best.

I, too, have held a friend while she passed. Oh, but I cried - hard, gagging sobs for Reba and I. Part of the deal when you have a pet, but that said it does little to soften the sense of loss one feels when they are gone.

Tough. Tough.

Best wishes to you, hope as time goes by so does the hurt.

I'll give my bud an extra 'good boy' and ear scratch tonight in memory of your lost friend.

      I don't know, this save the plant thing looks like a money maker, for someone! 🫤 Where do you think electric prices are going to go when they have the monopoly for everything that moves! 🙄

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Think the Free crawlers in the back yard are going to take a hit this summer! 🤭

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol

      Their coming! Was poking around southern center mn last Friday and found about 20 on a hill side, all to small to pick yet.  Spots on the GPS! 🤗
