Your call did not come as a surprise as I knew her end was near. So sad to see her go. I remember our first hunts with her. Anytime she was in the woods, she was on a mission. Very methodical, intense, and purposeful with every loop she made. If there was a hog there or had been there, he was in great peril of being found and caught. I remember hunting down thru the palmetto flat baying and catching one hog right after another. She was a pleasure to hunt with and it was much fun to watch her work. Too bad there are not more dogs like her, but those are very rare.
Monkey has left an impressive legacy also. Time for some new/young blood to begin making their mark.
