Dove season 2013

Two weeks ago today, my Yellow Labrador retriever, Missy, died as a result of her cancerous tumor on her spleen.  I do miss her so very much.  Dove season opens in less then three weeks. I will force myself to go, but it will be a miserable trip without her.  My first mention of her in this blog was on Sunday, May 3rd, 2009.  I was hopeful she would work as well in the marsh as did Sheba, my Chessy.

Sportspeople develop a special bond with their canine companions.  For those who understand, no explanation is required, but for those who do not, no explanation is possible.

May God bless and keep my hunting partners who have departed all too soon. 

A friend is lost.

Last month I reminded all it is time to get ready for dove and teal seasons by gathering requisite equipment and supplies and spending some time at the shooting range. In this post, I also mentioned my yellow Labrador retriever, Missy, would accompany me to the range with her bumpers for some training and play time.


Missy died this week from an inoperable tumor on her spleen. I am heartbroken at the loss. She underwent surgery last month for another growth removal, but this one appeared and grew at a horrific rate.

I do so much miss her.
