Ouch. was stacking wood and should have been watching him closer. And i hear a thud and a screech and I knew. He was turning into such a good dog. I was workin in the greenhouse the other day and had opened up the barn brooder to introduce everyone and it was tooo quiet. Kinda like with kids. And I went and looked and there was my bird dog( Golden retriever) laying on the floor of the chicken coop with a bunch of 8 wk old chicks walkin around him and he wasn't making a move! And he's gone. Not much fun digging a grave by the monte carlo head lights in frozen mud but I got the job done. Ouch. Sorry didn't know where else to vent. This just feels so comfortable now. I just cant believe I had to do this. Had to put down my other Golden last summer cuz he quit eating and was wasting away. He was old. This one had such potential. That I think is the hard part. Anyway thanks for listening.
