We just got back from the vet We just put Suzie down this afternoon. She wasn't able to walk very well with her hind legs this AM and it just got worse as the day progressed. Sadly, we knew that It was time. She was 14 years 2 months of age. She was my first dog that I had ever owned. She was a wonderful companion and hunting dog. She made us so many friends and we have tons of memories due to her. I held her in my arms as she fell asleep peacefully. Who says a big man can't cry? She will be cremated. I haven't made decoys for some time largely due to the kids being born, but I plan on making a special hollow decoy and putting her cremains inside of it so we can put her on the shelf and I can take her along and hunt with her again at least once a year. Here is a pic from this afternoon before we left home. Goodbye ol' girl. You will be missed dearly.... Nick SHR Sweet Little Suzie May 1995- July 2009
