For the kind words for Colby. When I am able, I'll edit my tribute and add a few of the stories about the big galloot..and try to post a pic or two. The house was sure empty last night.
 
Lee,
Any of us who have lost a buddy like you have feel your pain. I like to think about the quote that goes something like "? I hope I can be the man my dog thinks I am"?. A great tribute. I need to get to it and add a post to Yukon (Wonder) Jack when I can finish it. Colby was one of the good ol boys.
 
Lee you have my sympathies. Aspen and I are headed out this afternoon for four days of wading the high mountains streams. We will keep Colby in our thoughts and will have a swim in his honor.

My best,

Don Shearer
 
What a bummer Lee
I don't have any other words I can say that don't sound like some cliche or a hallmark card.
Drake and I will raise a toast in Colby's honor this evening.
 
Hey, Lee.
Really sorry to hear about Colby. Never met the big lug, but I bet I know him pretty good. Best hunting partner a guy could ever have........
 
Lee, read your tribute and then my eyes welled up and couldn't write to express my sympathy. They sure steal our hearts.

Take care buddy.
 
Lee, I'm sorry for your loss. I had to say goodby to my first hunting dog last year, very tough. The words of remembrance and sympathy were a great comfort to me, I hope they do the same for you.

Take care,
Vick
 
Lee, I can't express my feelings about your loss. I've been there and I know one day I'll have it to do again. I sure understand how the house has changed in just a day.
 
Sorry for your loss Lee. I've done this once before and I know I'll have to do it again. It's never easy but it is the humane thing to do. As long as you have Colby's memories he'll always be with you. At least one day every year I'll hunt an area where I buried my first lab, Copper. That was in 1973.

Take care,

Ed L.
 
Lee,
Very sorry to hear about Colby. I remember going down that road myself with one of my first dogs. My family will think about you and your buddy today as we enjoy the short time with our old friend Haley here.
As I have said before, heaven for me will be meeting back up with all the dogs I got to know on this side.

That chokes a fella up.


There are very, very few things in this life that bring a tears to my eyes. The passing of a beloved dog is one of them.
 
Im sorry buddy.

I still think of my fatdog, and miss her. Ive had so many dogs in my life since then, you'd think she'd be lost in the shuffle. No. She never will be forgotten. Sometimes at night, I'll be on the computer and think why isn't she laying on my feet. I cry just a little, for a second, but then I smile and think of all the crazy stuff she did. I wont tell you the hurt goes away, but it does subside and make you think of something else your dog did, that made you love him. travis
 
Dear brother Lee,

Paul Rutgers told me about your loss last evening. I am truly so sorry. Having had two great hunting dogs/great companions, I can relate to your pain. It is a deep loss, indeed.

Colby was a great dog, for sure. Although I met him in his sunset years, his character was written across his face. Congratulations on having had him for so long.

Let's spend some time up on MLB Lake this Fall. You with your Wigeon, and me with mine, or a Chuck Huff. We'll tuck up against that spot where you saw all the Black ducks, and inbetween flights, I'd like to hear some Colby stories.

God Bless you and your lovely family.

Your friend,

Mark Rongers
