Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 The last of my McCallan Double Cask 18 YO bottle is being honored. I had to put my 18 YO Schnauzer to sleep. She was the puppy that at birth snuggled in my hand, and for days after would crawl in the whelping box to find me. She let me know it was time, yesterday night we went out back and she just stood for half an hour leaning against my leg. For the last couple weeks, her body was shutting down and that night, well, she asked for release. Over the years she bonded with me beyond what any of our other pack dogs ever did. She was a brave and fine companion. So, tonight, she is honored. Be well Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always pour a little on the ground as an offering to beloved departed, human or canine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Aren't those Scots ornery enough or is the Scotch whisky that makes them so? Don't care for Scotch myself. The Scots for the most part are okay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Funny, the irony of 18 year old is not lost on me. We (my wife of 46 years)have had nearly 25 dogs and 10 cats over that time, but this girl, and her sister were from a breeding my wife did to hopefully get a silver and gray Schnauzer female. Suzi (the recently passed) girl was a beautiful silver girl. Her sister who passed away last year (nearly a year ago to the day) was a jet black tiny girl. Such fine dogs.

Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Bob, you Sir. I honor in your own right. I have over the years offered a few shots for your son and beloved Wife. I have offered a prayer or ten along the way and hope that they have given some solace. Thanks my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
