Queenie, age 82, passed-away peacefully in the arms of her family September 1, 2022.
Preceded in death by her auntie - Inky - and feline family members Figaro and Bubba, she is survived by her people, Tom and Jill.
Born March 3, 2011, Queenie came to live with her people at six weeks of age and joined the flushing and retrieving team as back-up dog. She was a quick study and grew into a reliable partner along with Inky in the sport of pursuing upland game birds. Queenie traveled extensively; including pheasant hunting trips from Wisconsin to South Dakota and from Canada to the Gulf Coast on family vacations.
Outside of work
Queenie enjoyed family life at the farm. She knew that when the E-Collar came out there was a walk in the offing. If the Browning 12 gauge materialized all hell would break loose. In her spare time there were always baby bunnies to dine-upon, poo-rolling in the woods and porch-sitting
with her people. Wintertime and snow was her absolute favorite. Because this is what Queens do - she loved to be outdoors and surveil her domain.
She embraced life, was on a first name basis with the UPS guy, a friend to most everyone she met, a canine good citizen and modeled the stoicism of a Labrador retriever. She was a clever dog with an incorrigible mischievous streak and an overall credit to her breed.
Blonde Dog will be sorely missed.
A celebration of her life will be held at a future date. Per her wishes adult beverages will be served.
Hunt ‘em up!
