When you have to bury one of you hunting buddies it is rough. Just put one down that was coming up on 16, he had been deaf for years and had very little eyesight. But up to the last few months had been healthy as a bull. His hips finally gave out on him and he just couldn't get around. I had him on meds for that and he still was in quite a bit of pain. He was so unsteady on his feet he used to fall quite a bit as he would follow me around as I was feeding and washing down the kennels every day. I knew it was coming but still is rough to deal with. RIP Tank.
