I had to put my June Bug down the day after Mother’s day this year. She was my first dog. Black lab/collie mix. 11 years old. She had liver failure. I got her for free at a “chicken swap” which is a little event usually held at a hardware/feed store where folks can buy/trade small farm animals, tools, supplies, win prizes such as animal feed, etc. A woman had two pups and said they were 8 weeks old and “had to go”. The rest is history. She was my best buddy and bushcraft partner. She was also my hero, as she saved me and my 6 month old son from a charging bull moose. She got between us and the moose, (that was only 75 FEET AWAY!) jumping on his head (which was lowered for the charge) and chased him off snarling and snapping. I miss her so much.
