June 9, 201511 yr Adieu old friend. Thunderstruck! When we met we immediately fell head over heels in love. You were shivering on the cold ground and I picked you up and put you inside my coat. You and I bonded immediately. A bond that can never break. Birds. Oh my, the birds we sought and brought home. Endless hours together both doing what we loved most. I still have my first spent shell and feather from your first ruffed grouse. So many happy memories. And the bond We were always one. Always together. Always a team. Always forgiving each other for our faults and rejoicing in our successes. One heart. One mind. Together. That, my friend, is what I will miss the most. I will miss being with you. I will miss your head in my lap. I will miss you slobbering on me. I will miss the glow in your eyes when I walked in the room. I will miss your gentle nature and intense drive to find those birds. Quest, you taught me what love is. Unconditional. Accepting. No judgement. Rejoicing in each other. I miss you my friend. I love you Quest. You may no longer be here but our bond will live on.
June 10, 201511 yr RIP Quest. Beautiful tribute Al. Brings a tear to my eye and instantly made me pine for my old Weimaraner BillBob. Great bonds last forever.
June 10, 201511 yr Such beautiful words! RIP to one man's best friend.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
June 10, 201511 yr So sorry Al. You don't find that unrequited love anywhere else. Tell Quest to look for a devious little brindle greyhound girl named Gypsy. She'll show him the ropes up there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 10, 201511 yr RIP Quest. So glad you found a human more than worthy of your love and loyalty. We'll keep a good eye on him for you while you journey ahead.
June 10, 201511 yr Really sorry for your loss, Al. Our furry brothers and sisters don't get nearly enough time, but they know what to do in the time they have.
June 10, 201511 yr RIP, Quest, and beautiful remembrances, Al. Very sorry for your loss, but memories are forever.
June 10, 201511 yr Very touching....RIP, Quest. I know your feeling exactly. I had a dove that I nursed her back to life after some kid attempt to shoot her down. I'm still holding on to her feather as well.
June 10, 201511 yr Author Thank you all. Poor Nitro is confused and somewhat lost. No doubt he will be a different dog when he settles into his new reality just like Quest did when he became our only dog. I had no idea Quest had touched so many lives. Tonight I raise my glass to Quest. May your path be easy and your joy endless. Until we meet again. Skoal mate!
June 11, 201511 yr Sorry Al. It's really hard when we lose a friend. Glad you had such nice lives together. RIP Quest.
