Your pets with your stove

[tickbitty]

Bet this is the oldest dog here. It's summer, so the stove's not burning, but this old fella isn't likely to live to see another burn season (17.5) so I figured I would post it here now.

I don't think I've ever heard of a springer living that long.

Neither has our vet. This poor dog, I hope he goes peacefully on his own, I don't think Hubs could bear to have to put him down.

The wifes cat (would...... with a .22) a long hair will occasionaly walk by said stove and the tail may brush against it from time to time. A lovely smell for sure. She doesnt cozy up to it and prefers the colder bedroom to nap.

Yup, I called that one right. Old fella passed on this morning. RIP little pal, it was a good 17 years.

Here's "Gunner" warming up after a cold pheasant hunt. He usually lays his head on the hearth.

beautiful room too...

Condolences, tick.... it's so hard when they leave us.

 

[northwinds]

My thoughts are with you, tick. After 17 years, it's not just a pet. That's a strong bond that leaves a hole in one's heart.

I wish I had a pic of all 5 dogs in front of the stove, but this is all I have. My 6yr old black lab and my 6 year old gsp. I have 2 more gsp's and a golden that are not pictured. Maybe this year I can manage a pic with all 5. Just a little brag, that gsp in the picture is #3 in the state in NSTRA Amateur division field trials.

Is that gsp out of Crosswind Kennels by any chance

Tickbitty,
Sorry for your loss. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about the little guys we've lost. No matter how old they are, its always too soon.

 

[tickbitty]

Thanks you guys for the condolences on our old guy. He was my husband's dog from puppyhood - I knew him his whole life but I have only been his "Mom" for the later half. I have been cooking for him lately more than I cook for the family! There is always such a hole when they are gone. Thanks all!

 

[firefighterjake]

Sorry to read about you and your husband's dog Tickbitty . . . it's never easy to lose a friend . . . whether they have two legs or four legs.

My boys Rusty & Cody. Rusty will come inside and run over the brick hearth everytime. It must warm the paws after being in the snow!!

Yup, I called that one right. Old fella passed on this morning. RIP little pal, it was a good 17 years

Sorry for your loss TB, the longer we have them the bigger piece of our heart we lose when they leave us. I lost mine after 13 years this past March and I still miss her, I rescued a shelter dog in June and she takes a lot of my time and my mind off of the one I lost.
My new one does not like the cold or rain so I imagine shes gonna park herself in front of the stove for the winter as soon as I fire her up.

She's cute

Terrier?

She’s cute

Terrier?

Not sure, my guess is terrier and hound mix?? She was dumped on the side of the road in Arkansas and ended up in Connecticut where I picked her up.

 

[tickbitty]

Thanks all for the kind words and for posting the pics of your beautiful pets (and stoves and living spaces)

Just posted pictures of me and the wife on the Picture the the Personality thread. Here's the newfoundland, Morgan and the two siamese cats, Bella and Charlotte.

That really brought a tear to my eye sir, great and noble dog

 

[begreen]

Here's our guy. His only movement for hours was to roll over and warm up the other side.
