Thanks guys!
She was only 4 years old but got to hunt some of the best places in the world......Tejon & Baja just to mention a few.
Out of my two dogs she was my favorite dog a very good companion but in the same sentence a royal pain in the ass she had a squeak of a bark which was ear piercing and constant and she was a licker. She slept in my arms every night and would wiggle her way right next to my face snoring in my face.
She started out with a tough life almost lost her in the first few days due to her having a clef lip so she couldn't suckle. She had to be hand feed by me for 2 weeks until she could chew kibble.
She got bit by a rattler and survived had a leaky bladder due to being spaded. But she was a great yote killer and was a natural retriever. While hunting Pheasants in Baja she would steal the birds out of every lab she saw and she loved duck hunting.......She was loved by everyone and will be missed!
Today is much easier and I have put it to rest. Now my other dog Zoe the mother of Zita will be having a litter this fall and I will start the new pup thing all over again with even more great expectations.
Here are a few videos of her....RIP ZITA and everyday you will be in my heart and my backyard!

She was an amazing dog and a trooper to boot! Like they say, "it's not the size of the dog in the fight - it the size of the fight in the dog"!
RIP Zita

It gets easier as days go by, but I still finding myself swearing at Zita and shedding a tear or two especially when I get text pictures of all the fond hunts people have shared with her........the bright light for me is knowing I get to keep a pup out of Zoe's next litter.
The stud is ready to go just need to look at the hunting schedule this fall and figure out whats going to work best.....I think the sooner the better. I'm going to try and bring Zoe into heat by change the food as soon as I run out....it has worked before so I'll give it another try and see if it helps to speed things up.
