I had to make the decision to put down a real good friend. When you are an a$$hole and a finatic about hunting and fishing. You end up going by yourself a lot. Travis wasn't the best of a hunting dog but he sure was the best company in the blind. He lived 14 years and went hunting until he was 11. His remaining years he just hung out in retirement and still found a way into a picture or two. What a tuff old guy he was, blind, def, diabetic. Fought it the whole way until he just couldnt get up anymore. Cryin rivers today.
