A Geordie in Lincolnshire

Chris Evans:
Just had my first look at this thread. Wow respect Man you do some good work. I finished with gun dogs when I lost three in a year, my old Lab started having fits and was put down. I had an old Springer that I inherited from a friend who died and she died of old age, that left me with a 10 month old Springer bitch who died from a blood disorder. All heartbreaking and I sold the guns.

firstly welcome. Impressive credentials there ! And a dog lover to boot  :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I take it you view moving to Lincolnshire as "Missionary work" preaching to the heathens etc :D

I relocated to Yorkshire 22 years ago and I think I have started to "go native".

Hi Chris

I know exactly how it feels, I lost my Lab x Springer Max about 6 months ago. I was in bits for weeks afterwards. Still keep getting flashbacks. He used to come with me to the workshop and lie in his bed until I got the biscuit tin out !! He was perfectly fit and healthy, I had been out pigeon shooting, he did three superb retrieves, came back home, wolfed his tea down, next morning he was dead. We presume it was his heart. 

Cheers

Hi Ian

I've only been here 11 years  so still much work to do with the natives :D However once our neighbouring farmer discovered I could weld aluminium I was accepted on the spot as he had a pile of ally irrigation pipes that needed repairing  :clap:
