Title: Another one gone to the happy hunting grounds. Post by: Circle C on September 28, 2009, 11:32:33 am A great dog, Captain, owned by Thomas Rohan went to the happy hunting grounds this weekend. It was tough hearing the news this morning. Thomas took him out on his final hunt this past weekend. For a dog in his final days, he was still excited to make a hunt with his lifelong companion.
For those that don't know Captain, he is the foundation to the big white dogs of Ugly Dog Ranch. Sorry for your loss, Thomas and Krystal. Title: Re: Another one gone to the happy hunting grounds. Post by: matt_aggie04 on September 28, 2009, 11:35:30 am Man I sure hate to hear that. He was a special dog to alot of people and I know he will be missed. There are few dogs that are lucky enough to be cared for like him though, he had a good life.

sorry for your loss and our prayers go out to your family RIP Captian Lynne and Dexter Title: Re: Another one gone to the happy hunting grounds. Post by: uglydog on September 28, 2009, 10:55:42 pm I wanna thank everyone one for the kind words. Chris, a big thanks to you for thinking enough of our boy to start this thread, it choked me up all over again.
This has been a real hard couple of days on us for sure, I have been fortunate enough to own several pretty dern good dogs through the years but this one was the "Big Daddy of them". Captain Morgan lived a long active & full life as a very versatile working dog. He will be remembered by us for many reasons, by most others as a foundation sire to the "Big White Dogs" and one hell of catch dog to those that knew him in his first half of his life, to mention a few other things to add to his list of accomplishments - a puppy trainer, a guardian for our farm animals, a true versatile hunting dog from treeing squirrel to retrieving birds. A personal protection dog, an obedient dog, a working dog in truest meaning. Also in his younger years, a drinking & fishing buddy to Thomas and friends. He had no limitations to his intellegence or willingness to tackle new tasks, He even learned to smell out roots and remove scrub brush & stumps, and would find and bay snakes on command as well. Captain Morgan is one in a million. Nov. 98 - Sept. 09 with Love from Your Family (http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mFSDOgRZVlo/SsFivyJiECI/AAAAAAAAFoc/7E3JF567DlU/s512/Captain%20Pup%20picture.jpg) (http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mFSDOgRZVlo/SsFlnnIT8bI/AAAAAAAAFo0/G6efoFFyufo/ThomasTaonka.jpg) (http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mFSDOgRZVlo/SsFim4NesHI/AAAAAAAAFn0/BBoMY1lGc0o/Rohan%27s%20Captain%20Morgan%281%29%20%5BCaptainMorgan%5D.jpg) (http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mFSDOgRZVlo/SsFixKnGf4I/AAAAAAAAFog/hBAupDni31I/s512/Gal%2C%20Coy%20%26%20Captain%20Christmas%20picture.jpg) (http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mFSDOgRZVlo/SsFisG7puPI/AAAAAAAAFoM/_EOhj9Pf03s/s512/P2010024.JPG) (http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mFSDOgRZVlo/SsFitxMC_oI/AAAAAAAAFoU/_pQc4vrkfCs/CaptainNCrash.jpg) (http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mFSDOgRZVlo/SsFiuGldkDI/AAAAAAAAFoY/zEz4WJl6OuE/Captain%20in%20Garden.jpg) (http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mFSDOgRZVlo/SsFixp3ggVI/AAAAAAAAFok/lnHUvb_ofOs/RootKilla3.JPG) (http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mFSDOgRZVlo/SsFiqPZdz7I/AAAAAAAAFoA/elYemuUbK2I/DSC00166_edited.JPG) (http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mFSDOgRZVlo/SsFizgFgVYI/AAAAAAAAFos/9UTQXyP5ieM/s640/SaintJohn%20Hogs.jpg) (http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mFSDOgRZVlo/SsFitRawP7I/AAAAAAAAFoQ/YSo9MczmEPU/s640/P9200212.JPG) Title: Re: Another one gone to the happy hunting grounds.

Title: Re: Another one gone to the happy hunting grounds. Post by: spazhogdog on September 29, 2009, 08:36:54 pm Sorry about your loss. RIP Captain. Here is a poem for you.
A LOAN FROM GOD God promised at the birth of time, a special friend to give, his time on earth is short, he said, so love him while he lives. It may be six or seven years, or twelve or then sixteen, but will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me? A wagging tail and cold wet nose, and silken velvet ears, a heart as big as all outdoors, to love you through the years. His puppy ways will gladden you, and antics bring a smile, as guardian or friend he will, be loyal all the while. He'll bring his charms to grace your life, and though his stay be brief, when he's gone the memories, are solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return, but lessons only a dog can teach, I want you each to learn. Whatever love you give to him, returns in triple measure, follow his lead and gain a life, brim full of simple pleasure. Enjoy each day as it comes, allow your heart to guide, be loyal and steadfast in love, as the dog there by your side. Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain, nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again? I fancy each of us would say, "Dear Lord, thy will be done, for all the joy this day shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run." "We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may, and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay." "But shall the angels call for him, much sooner than we've planned, we'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand."

Thank you so much for letting me try to help continue what you and Thomas started.
