HRCH UH Benton's Ria of Opus CGC 1500 point member 03/02/02 - 08/07/12

Although Ria was a 1st class competition dawg, she didn't hunt ducks until her first season with us in 2006 when owners Dave...

Cappy's been gone for almost two months now and I'm still struggling to get used to life without him at my side. Carol always called him my "yellow shadow" and he was just that for the thirteen...

Condolences from our family to your's. We understand only too well just how painful the loss is having just gone through it last month with a 13+ year old who was the very personification of that...

This is the Delta Waterfowl Memorial certificate honoring Cappy that we just received. There was a lot of open space within it so I asked Carol to see if she could work a couple of Cappy's pictures...

Were thoughtful and generous enough to make a memorial donation in his name to DU. They sent us a very nice memorial card that we've framed along with a pic of Cappy on his last hunt in 2009. ...

I couldn't help but notice last night that the former Ron Artest of the Lakers, who legally changed his name to "Metta World Peace", was still at his old behavior patterns. He was ejected in a 2nd...

I'm very sorry for your loss and wish Dazey Mae God speed across the Bridge.

Chris ... Wonder what this would run?

This was the last day of his last season, just a few weeks before Cappy had the cancer surgery that started his downward health spiral.

Cappy crossed the bridge today at 13 years, 2 months and 3 weeks of age. He spent all but the first 7 weeks of that time as my constant companion, best bud, and hunting...

Saw this posted on a Labrador Retriever Message board and thought some of you older duck hunters like me might relate ...

Condolences from our family too, Shayne.

Our Cappy is only a week younger than Bailey was. He was born on January 8 of 1999 and has been my virtual yellow shadow since 7 weeks of age. He...

When our Cappy was diagnosed with laryngeal paralysis late last spring, we learned that he would no longer be able to hunt or swim. It was almost as bad as having a doctor break tragic news to you...

Merry Christmas to all.

Sunnyview's Captain Cork has been retired. Laryngeal Paralysis has ended Cappy's 11 season long hunting career. He'll probably be undergoing surgery within the next two weeks that should make...

Well ... if you spent all night thinking about Rusty's first water retrieve pic ... here ... enjoy tonight!

Be careful what you say about Labradoodles. My wife owns one and she doesn't take kindly to her choices being ridiculed.

He is (oh boy, here we go again) a labraftermmffis (hand over mouth muffling response). He's my wife Carol's pup and she asked me to try to develop any genetic instincts that he may have. If he...

is how FAST they grow.

This is just under 3 months from date of picking him up on February 9th until this morning. What a difference a couple of months makes. Must be the Miracle Grow we add to...

So as not to hijack Cbeaty's topic, it caused me to offer what we did on less than 30 acres.

This is our home in N TX. It's on 56 acres. When you exclude the area for the house, barn and a back...

It's been almost 6 years since we built our several training areas and wetlands here in N TX. I have been plagued with willows proliferating on the banks ever since. It's a back breaking job for an...

What a difference 7 weeks means, huh?

First surgery was a plug biopsy.

It came back as a malignancy and he...

It's been 7 weeks since Cappy had his first surgery, and 5 since the 2nd more involved one for a malignant tumor. For the past two weeks he's been really bugging me to let him go with Remi for our...

Did you discuss the situation with your trainer? Perhaps a circumstance of some sort occurred and the trainer could shed some light on it.

My 11 year old Cappy began developing lipomas and cysts...

Sometimes unfortunate things seem to happen for a reason. I was out doing run clean up this morning when I heard a loud thump and looked over to see that a Robin had just crashed into a window. ...
