Sorry for your loss.  It's weird being without a dog when you're so used to having one.

I had to retire one of my 2 springers due to arthritis a couple of years back so I was down to one.  Then I had to leave her at home due to an injury one day last year and I felt lost all day... I kept looking down to the left almost giving commands to the dog that wasn't there!  I didn't shoot well, wasn't in the groove at all!  So glad to have her back the next time, horrible when you've lost your dog to think there won't be a next time.  Keep your chin up mate.  Get that pup trained up, the circle will continue :)

You don't realise till they gone bud 

When you run a team of dogs you find yourself ‘losing’ one about every three years.

It never gets any easier.

Yeah, we lost two cockers early in life. The dog didn’t even make 8 and the bitch died a week before she was 9. ******. We have been lucky with Labs though and have only lost one before she was 14. The other dozen or so all lived to 14+ and a few weeks off 16 in one case.
