No I am not talking about my four footed hunting buddies.
unfortunately I cant do subtle and kumbaya isnt on my playlist,when speaking I will often drop the F bomb....so will try to say this semi politely,but stuff it all it needs to be said.
Lost another mate this week ,not sure of the details but the black dog had foot on throat and he took his own life.... we see it far too often and it sucks.
If shite is getting to you,find someone to talk to about it,and if they dont do it for you find someone else and keep talking
if the shite is getting on top of you, for the love of God, scream out for help and keep screaming till you get it....I dont care what time of day or night it is,get a hold of someone and just keep talking till youve kicked that black dog into touch.
spoke to a couple of my workmates today..and buggamesideways one of them had cut his workmate down and the others wife has lost a daughter to it too,the third fella has dealt with aftermath as a first responder.....
just reach out and talk folks
we with firearms have to be cautious about how we do things but putting them in mates safe for a month or so is not a bad idea at all...if nothing else it shows authorities your being proactive..and if mate asks to poke some in your cabinet...go help them bring them over..... same deal with marraige breakups....
take care folks,you might be smelly n ugly with warts n allsorts but you are like family, so matter to me.

I'm sorry for your and his families loss.
We, generally, know the symptoms but fail to see them with family and friends.

I don't know if you all have heard the song by the late Toby Keith ' Don't Let the old Man In' but it seems to be fitting. I have spoken with quite a few mates on Disgruntled .com and there are still the 22 a day that seem to slip through and end it. In the last month there have been two RCMP members who have taken that path. sad .
