Gun Dog Forum

Eight years ago, at the exact moment I'm writing this, I was finishing up the last obedience practice with my dog, Maysha. She was undoubtedly the best dog a boy ever had. It was like God tailor made her for me. I was tired that day and hit the sack about four hours after we finished our routine. Maysha curled up right against my chest, as usual, and I went to sleep with my arms wrapped around her. The next thing I remember was waking up at the very, very first signs of daylight to my dad yelling, "Rowdy, get up, we've got a fire." Without going into too much detail, Maysha and two rescue dogs became frightened and hid under the bed where the firemen found them all, together, after the fire was extinguished.

I only have one photo of her left, but she was the best dog I've ever had and I'm not sure there's any chance to have another one even close.

Very sad. You never forget the "Special" ones... Remember her fondly and have a very Merry Christmas!
