Letter from Crockett's Daddy!

Hi Ed, Amy and Family,

Thanks for the update, I've been looking forward to it. Crockett (2 t's) has been doing great and he's a lot of fun as well. I didn't hunt with him last fall but sure intend to this fall. He is a great marker, I can take him back to a spot after 1/2 hour and he will remember the mark and go for it with enthusiasm! He's great in the house with the kids and will obey Caleb. He's 72# of solid muscle, very athletic and agile. I'll continue to up-date you on his progress. I've attached several recent pictures (some taken this evening) that you may want to add to the blog, it was great to see the updates.

Take Care, Doug, Kari, Caleb and Grace


Looks like Crockett & Caleb are growing!
And I bet little Grace is almost ready for some fun too!


AAAAW! True Love!







Honey (Mommy) loves the snow too!

Sincerly, Amy myers

Hunting & Fishing Expo. Harrisburg, PA

Feb. 2011 ~We took a family trip to see Jim Welser & his dog "Hank" and Lee & Tiffany Lakosky and their dog "Tank".
"Hank" is a beauty, very intelligent, awsome retiever & great in
crowds of people.

"Tank" was not there but we got to meet Lee & Tiffany. They are a really nice nice family and I am happy for Tank. He has become a part of the Lakosy family, they said he even sleeps with them. He is now trained to retrieve deer antlers, upland game & ducks.


In Loving Memory of “Emmy"

(Forest Havens Princess Emmy)
07/04/00 - 07/05/10”

Dear Mom and Dad,
You’re giving me a special gift,
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.
But really, love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts
Will only be in vain.
So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond, into your soul,
I see in you the magic, that will
Once more make me whole.
The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it’s the only way.
That strength is why I’ve followed you,
And chose you as my friend,
And why I’ve loved you all these years…
My partner till the end.
Please, understand just what this gift,
You’re giving, means to me,
It gives me back the strength I’ve lost,
And all my dignity.
You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,
For I believe it too.
So one last time, I breathe your scent,
And through your hand I feel,
The courage that’s within you,
To now grant me this appeal.
Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.
And don’t despair my passing,
For I won’t be far away,
Forever here, with your heart,
And memory I will stay.
Your best friend,
Emmy
