This one hurts. A lot. I knew it would even though I knew it was coming. Sweet Gertie, my first hunting dog, passed away today. She gave us 12 hunting seasons in her almost 14 years of life. Sure would’ve been 14 this Nov….We knew she wasn’t making it for hunting season. I think God took her now because He knew it wouldn’t be fair sure couldn’t go out and hunt with how weak and fragile she was. She was my girl. Stubborn sometimes yes, but she was the best girl. She had the best temperament with the grandkids. Let them love on her no matter how she felt that day. My sweet girl you can rest now. We love you so much!
