”I can't think of anything that brings me closer to tears than when my old dog — completely exhausted after a hard day in the field — limps away from her nice spot in front of the fire and comes over to where I'm sitting and puts her head in my lap, a paw over my knee, and closes her eyes, and goes back to sleep. I don't know what I've done to deserve that kind of friend.” Gene Hill

My friend has died, GREG DONNELL, on October 12, 2007. When I got Black Jack, he was the one I called to hunt with. "You have a good one, Linda" he said. I will remember Greg always.
I think of Greg often.

RIP
Doc- you were my first JR, my traveling companion and my best friend. You started the journey I have taken over the past 30 yrs.
Aiken- You tried to fill that empty spot, but instead filled another. What a sweet boy you were for 11 yrs.
Fox Run Frazzle- What a GREAT hunting dog you were!!! I absolutely know that you had your best memories with me and was honored to have had you in my life.

I wish the Rainbow Bridge had a phone...so I could hear your whinny / bark again. I thought of you today...but that's nothing new. I thought of you yesterday and the day before that too. I think of you in silence and often speak your name. All I have are memories and pictures in a frame
