Lost another good dog

Well, here I sit again. My one year old GSP was killed yesterday on the road. My fault, but it still hurts. I lost my last one 2 yrs ago in the same spot. I had this one trained not to go past the tree line which is 100' thick to the road. In the year I've had her, she's NEVER been on the road. I run a collar on her and she has been wonderful. I imagine she was chasing or after something. She was an "oops" litter. I spent $25 on her and she was the best dog I've ever had. We did some live bird work this weekend and she did great. She was smart, listened and picked up anything I tried to train her. I was sooo looking forward to hunting her this fall. At this point, I give up. I'm not meant to have a good dog. 3 weeks ago I put my old shepherd down too, now i have to stay home and dig another hole next to her. Words can't express my disappointment and sorrow.

See ya later pretty lady, I'll miss you Lacie!!!

Wow, I'm very sorry to read this. I remember reading about your GSP a couple years ago and it broke my heart because I also lost my first GSP to a car. I'm so sorry for what you have been through. Then I read about your old dog a few weeks ago. Now this. You have been through alot of loss in just a couple of years. I have three German Shorthair "kids" now, and I am a nervous wreck when we are outside-they never ever leave my sight. I do know what you are going through. I was visiting my parents when my first GSP Chloe disappeared for just a few minutes. I found her laying dead alongside the road. I always figured she was chasing a bird when she got hit. Take care of yourself. I wish you the best of luck. I think in time you will want to get another GSP. The pain of losing one is awful, but I think the pain of not ever having another one would be even worse. Sorry for your unbelievable loss Ryan.

Thanks guys. I just realized yesterday as I buried her next to my shephard, that this is the first time since June of 1998 that I don't have at least one dog. I got my first GSP in 98, and the shephard in '02, lost first dog in 08, and got Lacie in 09. Still want answers on what happened. I just wish whomever hit her would have stopped and let me know. Luckily my sister in law was riding her bike by my house and saw Lacie in the ditch and came and told me. Still get tears in my eyes thinking about it.

Sorry for your Loss. When your done grieving and thinking about a new pup also consider getting an invisible electric fence. The do it your self ones are a couple hundred bucks if money is an issue. I will never have a house without it again. It could prevent the current heartbreak you are going through. I lost my 1st Brittney to a car where the driver never stopped. I looked for her for many hours before finding her. She never left the yard before either.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
