Four Generations
Written by Deb on November 1st, 2009Halloween is always bitter sweet for me because I remember my heart dog, Reilly, who I will miss the rest of my life, being born on that day now 21 years ago.
However this year I also have the joy of having 4 generations of my bloodline alive and well in my house and today I was able to get a photo of the four girls together.

Love the picture of my Mom, Grandmother, Half Sister and Niece – I think I have that right! – Willie!
Hi Willie:
Glad you visited our blog. yes, you got it right. Tell your mom to give you a hug from us all!
Oh, what beautiful dogs!
We love Yellow Labs too.

Thanks. I also have one black, Zamboni, who is a real sweetheart.
Nessie looks so much like our Dunns marsh moonshine that we bought from you yrs ago. Sadly he is gone and missed every day. He was a joy!! I also remember walking in and meeting Reilly.
Hi Lisa:
good to hear from you — I’m sure you must miss him. Was he in his teens when he passed away? We’ve been fortunate that our Labs seem to have extraordinarily long lives but they are never long enough. Do you have another Lab now?
Yes, he was 16yrs. old, so we had alot of great yrs. with him. He was an awesome pheasant hunter. We are on our third lab; a black one. He’s a good boy too, but I think “hooch” holds a special place in our hearts. We’ve always talked about getting another one from you.
I remember the photos you sent of him hunting out west with the pheasants lined up. Hooch will always be that special dog for you. I have really good dogs now who each have a place in my heart but Reilly was my #1 “heart dog” so I understand.
