I've loss, ( 2 ) 4 legged Loves and a son at birth in my 64 years. So, I Truly Feel your loss of your buddy to you and your family. His sister is also feeling the loss.. I have a Yellow Lab named Casey who is My Love. She's going on 12 and can no longer or should say, we don't allow her to climb the stairs to sleep with us or run in circles that she Loved to do or take long walks. She has torn both ACl's, one has healed over time and the other one is about 6 months old. To have it repaired would mean putting her under, etc etc. We just DON'T want to take that chance at her age. I too fish a lot, so she'll be waiting patiently looking out the window for me, but now because of her issues, age, she just lays around and naps until I come home. I don't think it 'cause she Loves me but I want to think so but it could be that I Always save her some lunch!! LOL Her picture is on the wallpaper on my Iphone and I do have 4 grandkids!! I know every day that Casey is with us is Precious! Rebel and Casey could pass for brother and sister! I will now stop typing and wake her up and give her a hug and a cookie. I know, it doesn't help...but you have to remember all the Good Times you had together to get through each day. Dennis
