Tough Times

Big Hole 200 cfs Beaverhead 163 cfs

My old fishing partner Gus had an encounter with a truck yesterday and he came out on the short end. Gus being my Newfy dog who was always ready to go fishing. I was frantic to find a vet last night but couldn’t and had to wait until this morning. His back leg is shattered and also has damage to his hip. At the clinic they said because of his age and arthritis it wasn’t looking too good. Well I’m starting to get the same problems and they damn sure aren’t going to put me away. They said it’s going to be pretty spendy and I just shrugged and said “go for it” I’ll go to the bank across the street and get a loan if I have to. They just don’t know how valueable a good fishing partner is.
