Jack


It's always sad when one of my subjects passes on. Jack was a great Lab and gave me one of the best expressions ever. Here is his best friend's tribute:

AFC  Morningside’s Smackwater Jack, MH  3xMNQ

“Jack”

October 12,  1994 – March 20, 2009

 

 

Jack was my student, my teacher, and my friend.

He was a competitor, a flyer hound, and a companion.

There was never a bird he did not want

 Whether it was in the field or on the kitchen counter.

It was an honor to stand next to him at the line or lay next to him in bed.

Because of him I have gone places I never dreamed of, made friends that will last a life time, and had my soul touched by a truly remarkable animal.

Jack, you remain in our hearts forever

May all of your retrieves be marks

May all of your marks be flyers

We will miss you “Gentlemen Jack”

Until you are at our side again

 

Valarie and Christina
