Young Dog Passes Away at the Grand

Post by Doc E » Sat Apr 27, 2013 9:53 am

ome of you may have heard (or read) that one of the dogs run by Bill Autrey
passed away at the Grand from Gastric Torsion (twisted gut). A real heartbreaker for sure.

Bill almost never posts on the net, but here is what he posted on Facebook :

"The 2nd day here at the Grand was a real heart breaker as we had a dog pass away . HRCH UH Dee SH a black 2 yr old female that belonged to Monte & Nita Sayer of Natchitoches, La passed away after running & passing the 1st series. We all left the hunt site late, aired, & then fed about 9:00 Mon night. Sometime during the night Dee's stomach turned over. We got her to the vet but they were unable to save her. Our hearts. & prayers go out to Monty & Nita on their loss of this fine young girl..
I only got to run Millie on the 2nd series, a water test that about 80% of the dogs have had to handle on. But Millie picked up clean. & then 3 whistled a challenging water blind. I will run Chili & Boss early Mon morning on their 2nd series. Worried as this is no young dog test".
