So true, when we had Trooper I told my wife, and you will likely think I'm crazy, that I wanted him to be part of the whole process so he knows that I am gone in this way and didn't abandom him. And I know with his intelligence he would know what happened and what was going on. He would have been very sad losing me as we loved each other to death, Dads Boy, but not as sad I don't think as I have been losing him, I don't know.

And from what I see garmin is still much better then the live 2 and soon lowrance will be showing their third attempt , let’s hope it’s more impressive

I was always old school and never got into the high end electronics, just a basic GPS for marking spots and caught fish and and tracking my drifts and 2 very basic sonars, one on the bow and another on the console to show depth and weeds. I always found it more fun trying to figure out where the fish should be and then go and get them. To each their own and nothing against anyone using electronics to find fish but to me that's taking most of the enjoyment out of catching them. I kept things basic and usually did very well on the water.

Izzy developed bladder cancer. I'd take her for a walk, and she'd stop every few feet to try and pee. Vet said she had a tumour the size of a baseball in her bladder....very aggressive and had already spread to her other organs. The vet put in a catheter to give her a few more days (she was in pain) so my kids could come home to say good bye...they were in university at the time...one in Kingston and one in BC. We all had one last weekend at the cottage with her...and then Monday, we all went to the vet to hold her that final time. The saddest part of of having dogs as family members is that we as humans generally out live them...
