He wasn’t your typical “working dog”, but Jake worked his ass off. He was rarely out of sight…. or should I say he rarely let me out of his sight, and worked every night driving off unwanted visitor (4-leggeds).
We’ll be looking for a calm, friendly, responsible replacement. I’m thinking my way through breeds, but just keep coming back to LabX……
RIP Jake..

November 17, 2011 at 1:36 am #67974Scott GParticipantDogs & horses are the truest friends we have, Carl. Sorry my friend, losing your dog leaves a hole thats hard to fill. Can’t go wrong with the black lab, that’s what my bud is. His name is Mick.
November 17, 2011 at 1:42 am #67978Andy CarsonModeratorSorry to hear about your loss, Carl. He looks like he was a happy guy.
November 17, 2011 at 3:59 am #67975dominiquer60ModeratorSorry to hear this Carl. He was indeed a good dog and a tough one to replace, it won’t be the same without him around. RIP good buddy!
November 17, 2011 at 12:51 pm #67973Carl RussellModeratorThanks folks…… it’s like I’ve entered an alternate universe…. in this one I don’t have a shadow…
I’ve been through this before, and new possibilities will present themselves.
Thanks, Carl

Kind of a pagan version of a ‘doggy heaven’.Anyways, hopefully it won’t be too long before the next dog finds you…I’ve noticed that most of the good ones I’ve had seemed more to find me, than I to find them.
November 17, 2011 at 9:35 pm #67980BaystatetomParticipantA best friend in the woods is really hard to replace. Loggers and farmers spend more time with them then most people. I had a lab mix for 14 years. I waited over a year before getting a new one. He is great (another lab mix), but sometimes he’ll do something that reminds me of old skidder and I still miss him. Sorry for your loss.
~TomNovember 18, 2011 at 12:36 am #67979rebParticipantCarl,
I am sorry for your family’s loss.
RichardNovember 19, 2011 at 2:45 pm #67977Michel BoulayParticipantSorry for your lost Carl. Know the feeling lost one this summer, like you, been through it before. The younger one was lost for a while but in time things settle. Like Robert said the good ones seem to find us. Always had lab or lab mix difficult to change breed. Again rip Jake.
