~ Dawson ~
1998-2011
It’s with a very heavy heart that I post this entry. My camera trapping partner passed away Sunday afternoon. As those of you that have followed my blog know Dawson was my constant companion in my camera trapping hobby. He liked nothing better than to hop in my old blue pickup and hang his head out the window as we rolled down the road. Checking the cameras was high adventure for him with all of the different sounds and scents he came across in the fields and forests we explored. I think my wife summed it up best….”He had as good a life as a dog could have. He lived like a King.”
Rest in peace buddy. You are sadly missed.

Oh my God, Joe. I'm SO SORRY!!! I saw the title of your post, and I was hoping to see photos of Dawson checking out the trail cams. I'm caught off guard and I'm crying right now for your loss... NOTHING beats a good dog.
So sorry for your loss. Our oldest dog passed away last year nad it broke our hearts. I know Dawson must have been just like family. Ours are to us.
Very sorry to hear that, Joe.
Dogs really do become part of the family. Ours is getting up there and I dread the day he passes.
Peace be with Dawson and your family.
Oh Joe! So,so,sorry to hear. I am thinking of you and hope the good memories makes the heartache a little better for you.
So very sorry Joe.
Thanks for sharing your memories and the blogosphere's thoughts are with you.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Joe. It is so hard to lose such a close friend. :(
So sorry to hear that:(
I'm so sorry..there is nothing like a good dog, and losing them is like losing family.
Joe I am so sorry for your loss a good dog is the best gift a person can have. It is like losing a big part of your family. Take care. B
Sorry to hear about your dog Joe. Life is too short for our little friends sometimes!
I'm so sorry, Joe. You're lucky to have had a camera-trapping buddy like him but I can only imagine how much you'll miss him. RIP, Dawson.
Condolenses on your loss. I know how you must feel.
Sorry for your lose. Do your best to remember all those rides and walks as this does help.
Oh Joe,
I'm so sorry to hear about Dawson. Dogs are the truly the best. They fill our hearts with good by just being around and when they leave they leave big holes but when it comes down to it, I think we are better for having known them.
My thoughts are with you and yours.
Take care,
Kari
So so sorry Joe. I know how hard it is to lose an animal friend. RIP Dawson.
They have such short lives but can cram so much in them ,they like nothing more than being out and about.He looks a happy dog in the picture ....
So sorry :(
Our pets really do touch our hearts and become a huge part of our lives. We lost our Lab in June. We said we wouldn't get another dog for a long time (we were heart broken). But, we found we couldn't stand not having a dog around...2 weeks later we paid a visit to the pound and brought home a new friend.
Joe, I'm so sorry. I've been down this road and it certainly isn't an easy one. You are in my prayers.

So sorry to hear about Dawson, it's amazing how pets become such a big part of a family. Sending you and your wife a big hug.
Sorry to hear about your Dawson. Looks like he lived like a king to me! Dogs just don't live long enough for us... I hope one day you find another camera trapping buddy, but until then enjoy all your memories of Dawson!
Sorry to hear about Dawson. I lost my best buddy last year at the age of 15. Them pooches certainly leave a hole in our lives when they pass on.
