Inky

Schwarzer Tinte Hund ‘Inky’, age 14, passed-away peacefully this week in the arms of her humans.

Preceded in death by her parents, Ratatouille and Remote Control and feline family members Bubba and Figaro, she is survived by her people Jill and Tom and her niece – Queenie – the blonde ’back-up’ dog. 

Born June 13, 2006 Inky came to live with her people at six weeks of age and mastered the art of flushing and retrieving. She was a quick study and grew into a reliable partner in the pursuit of upland game birds. 

Inky traveled extensively; including pheasant hunting trips ranging from Wisconsin to South Dakota and from Canada to the Gulf Coast on family vacations. 

Outside of work Inky enjoyed life at the farm and engaged in countless hours of hunting frogs, swimming in the ponds, eating baby bunnies, rolling in disgusting stuff she would find in the woods and porch-sitting with her family. From time-to-time she and Queenie would team-up to filch green beans from the garden. She embraced life, was a friend to everyone she met, a canine good citizen and modeled the stoicism of a Labrador retriever. She was the perfect dog. 

Inky will be sorely missed yet fondly remembered as Tom’s Girlfriend. 

A celebration of her life will be held at a future date. Per her wishes adult beverages will be served. 

Hunt ‘em up!
