@cashstore1 Oh, he preferred the Kong, I think, but probably because that's what we mainly used. My present GSP male will chase and catch about anything you throw! :) They are true athletes. Thanks for your comment.
just found your video. i have an 11yr old gsp.he is my first thru marriage and then we had 3 all t gether.. they r like potatoe chips...u cant have just one! or so i am told. i am sorry for your sddness. we lost out middle "child" homer in aug this last yr. .. of unknown causes to make it worse. he was 7ys.but we are blesssed to still l have his son who will b 6 this may..time passses but you will always hold them in your heart. great pix
@cleaveb23 Thanks for your kind comments. I agree they are a very special breed...very noble and intense, but with great playfulness, too! Hope you get another GSP soon. :)
@rspurdue Ok. I dunno if it's really ideal for an inexperienced, nervous first time dog owner! They aren't too much hassle are they? They do look gorgeous and I need something to give me exercise. I've always wanted a dog that would sprint like a madman.
anyway lots of things need to get sorted out before I can think about it, the current home isn't ideal. my parents are sadly a bit cranky as they get older i dont know if getting a dog would help them chill out, or would make them kick me out!
@Schlockenspiel Good that you are careful about it - it's a forever commitment. No-one will ever see one of my dogs in a shelter, unless I am dead and buried, and they tear up my last will and testament. Too many loving dogs die alone in filthy shelters with a shot in the leg, or gassing, or worse. When I take on a dog, I commit to it no matter what.
@Schlockenspiel Thanks for commenting. He was worn out from a long run in muddy woods, and that muddy tongue pic is one of my favorites, too! Yes, the pain of losing a dog is extremely hard to bear, but while they are with us, they are the most amazing companions, and bring infinitely more joy than heartache. I encourage you to adopt one on if you are prepared to make it a permanent "no-matter-what" commitment, and if you have the space and the energy, a rescued pointer = a perfect companion.
@FreyKaz Losing them is terribly painful, but adopting another into a loving family is the best way I know of respecting their memory...I hate that so many wonderful dogs are put to sleep in 'shelters,' while people like us try everything to keep our pets alive and well. I had Buster from a puppy, but now we only take on rescues...it really does save beautiful lives. Good luck with your GSP, I'm sure you will find him/her adorable!
@thelifeofhollerrats ...So sorry to hear that - I feel your pain too. GSPs are special. We hold the memory of our dogs when they pass on, but the pain eases in time. We got Emmy, a GSP rescue, 3 days after Buster died...Emmy eased our pain, because we had to focus on HER then. She's still with us (9 yrs, a real joy), & we have a GSP male (6 yrs), and a great little mutt (3 yrs) who was due to be PTS when we found her at a shelter...they're all amazing dogs, but so many need rescuing nowadays :(
Thanks, and well done for saving your dog! Tips - plenty of couch time and cuddles (not hard, as you already know these dogs are beautiful creatures), high quality dried food without corn, soy, etc., no human food scraps (may develop life-threatening pancreas problems otherwise), and as much exercise or running freedom as you can manage...these dogs love to be active during the day. I know you will have the very best dog anyone could wish for! Best wishes to you both :)
@korf78 They have helped us tremendously. Now we have three dogs - we were fostering an older dog named Bobo, who we had decided to adopt, when he died very suddenly...we were with him until the very end. The next day we felt a need to save our present rescue, Tilly, who was due to be put to sleep - she has fitted in here perfectly. Now we only adopt shelter dogs - there are far too many being killed.
Very sad! I have a GSP named Buster. Lost his dad to a brain tumer in Jan 09. It's was very difficult for both of us! It's even too hard to watch this video.
So sorry to hear of your friend's loss...these dogs have beautiful souls and are amazing athletes, too, but are great lapdogs if you allow it! LOL. The song is called 'S fhada leam an Oidche Ghemraidh - a traditional Gaelic song played here by Dougie MacLean on his album RIOF. Thanks for watching and commenting. Kind regards.
Thanks korf78. Buster died in June of 2005. Three days later we picked up a female pointer (Emmy) from Ohio GSP Rescue (she was to have been Buster's companion, and we didn't want to let her down when he suddenly died). It helped me over the loss a lot at the time. Then in July my wife bought me a male GSP puppy (Oscar) who looks very like Buster, but of course is very much his own dog! GSP's are phenomenal dogs. We also foster rescue dogs now. Thanks again.
Thanks Shekobeach...we did! We now have 2 pointers (1 a rescue) and another foster dog from the animal shelter...you can never have enough dogs, can you? LOL
So sorry about your loss. Very nice tribute to Buster. He was a fine looking dog. I currently have a GSP, so I know about that special bond you all shared.
