    RIP Tilly

    My beautiful Tilly was euthanised on Monday. 4 weeks short of being 13. 252 deer with me.
    She has spent 5 weeks in the backyard recovering from paralysis in the hind legs which only very marginally improved. Sadly the prognosis was for no more improvement and very limited mobility. RIP Tilly.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    @Tahr, she was blessed to have you as her owner and you to have her as your hunting companion and buddy.
    You gave her a fantastic life.

    Shit Tahr, thats just crap
    Condolences mate, I know that at the moment things are pretty raw, but know that Tilly lived the best life, and
    I bet given the chance, she wouldn’t change a moment.
    Raise a scotch to her, tonight.

    @Tahr. I can imagine your grief and you and family have my deep sympathy. Try to keep the grief managed and determine to locate a suitable pup. A good pup with potential will soften the times ahead. Take it easy man.
    RIP Tilly.

    Sad to hear Tilly has moved on B, your posts of hunts spent with Tilly were one of the major factors in me deciding to get my pup and train him on deer. I'm sure she inspired plenty of others also.

    Sorry to hear that Bruce, she looked a lot like my first GWP Tess. Tilly was a pretty special dog. Enjoy the memories.
