A little sad news
Lost my buddy yesterday. Riggs had been going downhill pretty steadily for the last couple of months. He was 12 1/2 years old, and that's pretty old for a German Shepherd. I was beginning to be concerned about having to put him down, and didn't know if I could do it. That would have been about the hardest thing I had ever done.
Found him in his pen yesterday morning. Looks like his heart just gave out. We had him cremated (local funeral home does pets, too - we is country folks up here!) and I'm gonna bury him up on the slope above my range so he can watch me shoot like he always used to do.
Miss the hell out of him already.
