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!
