Sounds like you have one other now so that might be consoling when that time comes. When I lost my first brittney, it hit me awfully hard. I expected he'd be around another couple of "retirement years" even though he wasn't going to be able to hit the field any longer. I had already gotten a new pup and we were in the middle of pheasant season. New pup was still smelling flowers and chasing butterfly's, he was clueless in the field still. We lost the old guy on a Friday evening, it was brutal tough and it'll always stay with me. Canceled my hunting plans the next day and shed my share of tears. Took the pup out that Sunday to cover some Prairie, pretty much broke down several times that day walking alone putting miles on the boots. As the day wore on, walking back to the truck, the young pup up a roosty in the ditch which I brought down with wet eyes. It was a roller coaster of emotions. Time will heal your pain but even 6 years later, its rare a week doesn't go by that our old companion isn't brought up in some form or another in conversation around the house with the wife or kids.Honostly, it's this part of K9 ownerhsip that makes me think twice about getting another. Sure sucks they have such a short time to be with us. Make the best of the time she has left and  know that you provided a great life for her.</blockquote>
