    Billy Jackson died today

    Posted by swimswithhorse on 6/24/2020, 4:12 pm

    Most of you won't know him, A few might. He was nearly 16. The only Setter I've owned and the only Setter I'll ever own. He was a thorn in my side for half his life and nearly perfect the other half. I'm sad, but glad I new him.

        What a great long life he had. I was happy to be a small part of his life. Always a tough day though. You guys experienced a lot together.

              Don, Thanks to your " favorite Setter " I went places in the Run River Forest while scouting him, that I haven't since, and probably won't again. Never an easy day.

                Hi Bert, you know what they say about doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. But again thanks for volunteering

                That's always a sad day, Billy was a very nice dog. 16 is a ripe old age; you have a knack for keeping them going.
                Thoughts are with you,
                John

                  Thanks John, One of my good memories is Billy pointed in the bottom of a big canyon in Nebraska and your son flushing a big covey of Quail.

                    Sorry Don, it was always interesting watching Billy run wether he made it around or not. R.I.P. Billy!
