I had someone give me a SSH roo once and went out and found him two hens always intending to raise some. It never happened and now after 6 years I only have one SSH hen left, but they sure are pretty birds. My rooster was gorgeous, I called him Mister Fancy Pants. I need to do leg bands so I know how old my hens are. I just sold a bunch of 2-3 year old hens making way for some new ones in a month or so. Will be adding some Red laced blue wyandottes, EEs, Speckled Sussex, and some polish. Nothing fancy, just fun.


I LOVE my SSH’s.

Next time I go to my GMAs I need to take a picture of the picture of the birds in that old photo.

Please pray for Titan.

Pray for an easy passage.

Pray for the vision to return as he crosses the rainbow bridge.

I’ll update more when I can. He’s holding on by a thread.

The old man has given me 17 years and all I can do now is hold his head and give him comfort.

He'll soon join the others who departed before him. They'll all be there waiting for you when your time comes to join them. Hope he goes fast, quietly, & with no pain.

Titan touched my heart the first time you ever posted pics of him. I remember our Private conversations about him. I love this dog I have never met and so grieved for you K. Praying for peaceful passing.
Love you Titan!

That's all one can do for our furry companions that were loyal to us; stay near and hold their head or paw, etc. We lost our family dog of 11 years in June, just a couple days after Dad's funeral. It was a tough June let me tell ya. My wife, Jill sat on the hard floor in the kitchen holding Roscoe at the end for probably 5 hours. She had him lying on a blanket and the end covering him too. I walked in the kitchen and he looked up and just sighed and let go. He had his faults; in fact a lot of em, but he had his good points. I think Jill is still glad she sat with him thise final hours. Prayers sent for Titan's comfort and your peace.

Hoping for a gentle crossing of the Rainbow Bridge. Seventeen wonderful years - he's had a great life with you!

Its hard when they go fairly young, likely a whole lot harder after 17 years. :hugs

I had to leave for work. He’s at peace now. Hoping he holds on until I get home. My mom is sitting with him for me.

Here’s a picture of Titan in his prime 10 almost 11 years ago.

I cried all night last night. I’ve been crying most of this morning. I am not ready for this. I remember the day we got him. I knew then he was special. He’s been my most loyal companion and outlived many other dogs.

It won’t be the same without him around.

I do hope he is still there when you get home. Hold him and say goodbye.
