Do You Have A Four Legged Prospecting Buddy?

To all the people on the forum who has lost a friend this is for you to help with the pain of losing them. This poem helped me after losing my best friend a few years ago.

The Rainbow Bridge Poem

“Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….”

My wife’s afraid of dogs she got bit once when she was little so I can’t have one, but I just got this little puppy for my youngest son he’s been struggling with some autism related anxiety issues. Her name is Misty, She hasn’t been out prospecting yet. she’s an American Pocket Bullie and is so sweet and affectionate it’s really cute holding her and she just loves hugs and nuzzles on your neck.

My English Setter shredded the dash in my car while I was out of it. I didn't mad either. lol I looked at it as my fault for leaving him alone in the car. No more car rides for him after that.

Sorry. No picture. I'll post a picture of him tomorrow.

Read google, my dog ate... my sons puppy ate the connector end of his cell phone charger cord late Friday night, I wound up using my TRX pinpointer to locate it and follow as it slowly moved it’s way along, thankfully it passed this morning without getting lodged... I was getting ready to shell out whatever it took to make sure she was Ok.

Guys, my Wirehaired Pointing Griffon (R.I.P.), Max, got lame while hunting chukars. I left him in the camper, and took my shorthair, Annie, out to hunt. I didn't realize Max could see us out the little window above the bed. When we got back, and I was about 50 yards away, I noticed the view in that little window was simply all yellow. When I opened the camper door I realized Max, in his frustration and jealousy, had completely shredded every cushion in the camper. The yellow I saw was all the foam rubber that had been covered with the upholstery. After that I never refused to take Max again...sore feet or not...LOL

Never, they train us and allow us to think that we trained them.

I now take care of my grandfathers dog and he is a handful.

I all ready have a German Shorthaired Pointer but was 'bamboozled' i must admit while i was intoxicated into buying a 'Golden Retriever' thinking that my fortune was just about to happen the dog just about retrieves sticks and i fell for it 'hook line and sinkers'.

Teach me to be so gullible especially while intoxicated 😀
