I lost my 17 year old Catahoula yesterday, name is Gris-Gris. Pronounced Gree-Gree, Cajun hex. Damn fine hog dog. She got down in the rear a few weeks ago so I moved her into my trophy room on a big fluffy dog bed. Had to carry her outside couple times a day and keep her on pain meds. I just kept putting off having her put down, She went on her own yesterday. Going to miss her badly. A good dog damn sure ought to live longer......
