Well the end of an era this evening as Phog the dog passed over the rainbow bridge before he turned 15...As many would have expected from him the body gave out before the heart which made this even tougher. Phog lived a great life...few dogs would have enjoyed. He contributed greatly to the pointing lab community...some said he was one of the great yellow stud dogs but for me my greatest joy was what a great companion he was...a true and loyal family dog...and was awesome in the field watching him make great retrieves. His tombstone must read he never gave up on a bird! Phog's genetics live on with his son Eddie here in our house along with the hundreds of pups and grand pups he sired all over the country.... I hope in the days and weeks ahead we hear from some of those folks that saw him in action and or own one of his progeny....God Speed Phog the Dog!
