He was a good dog

Kipper the Hound passed away this evening. He collapsed
at the back door after his evening walk and I carried
him to his pillow in front of the fireplace where he
passed peacefully.

He was a good dog and he'll be missed.

Our condolences. A loyal friend will be missed.
I googled Kipper in this group and I noticed that his "staff" has
always been quite proud of him.
"Congrats to Kipper the Hound who took home the trophy
in the Best Mixed-Breed category at the 2004 Urbana
Sweetcorn Festival Dog Show.
The trophy is sitting on our mantle and the ****in'
Koreans can whine 'til the cows come home but we
ain't givin' it back !!
(I am somewhat concerned in that this was an "amateur
dog show" and Kipper the Hound does dog for a living.;-) "

I would also suggest that you two did "friends" for a living. Rest in
peace Kipper.

Very sorry for your loss, Ken. Losing a good dog isn't "like" losing a
member of the family, it "is" losing a member of the family. My
sincere condolences.

a dog is often the better part of a man. sorry to hear of kipper's
demise. i remember meeting him on elk creek at my old cabin. he didn't
pee on the floor or carpet and had a cheerful nature. he was a good
soul. sorry he's gone and for your loss... he seemed to have all anyone
could hope for in this life - a credit to his partner i'm sure. may we
all pass as peacefully.

Sorry to hear about Kipper's passing, I always enjoyed the pictures and
reports that he was involved with.

Our Lab Molly found a dead fish on the beach yesterday and rolled in it.
Love her to death, but I scolded her and didn't let her in the house last
night. Now I feel terrible.

Find yourself a new fishing partner. It will never replace Kipper, however
will help with the healing.

My condolences,
JT
Who just doesn't get what the deal is with dogs and them rolling in nasty

I'm sorry to hear this, Ken. I've enjoyed your talking about him. He
seemed like a good dog.

My wife won't let me get another dog. She gets so attached to them that
when they go it is too hard on her.

Jeff, I'm not sure if you picked this up somewhere or if it is your own
poetry, but it is damned-spot-on. Just placing your hand on your dogs warm
head as he looks at you with all the trust in his being makes you a better
person - even if for just that moment. At that point in time, a man would no
more do harm to the world than to harm himself.

Reminds me of the saying, "Lord help me become the person my dog thinks I

This was sent to me after I lost my Lab and best fishing buddy, Charlie. It
says it all.
