After 13 years of being my best good buddy Bruiser breathed his last.
Bruiser was an accidental mix of Brittany and Golden Retriever. I picked him up on Jan 4 1997. I was a senior in college and didn't have the cabbage for a "real" hunting dog but I figured I could make a Brit/GR mix hunt. And I was right. I taught him to heel, sit and stay. He taught himself to point, flush and retrieve (at least it seemed like he did).
He had 9 strong years of pointing and flushing and 13 strong years of tennis ball chasing. It's been 6 days and still haven't become accustomed to my daily routine without him.
