Going on that trip might be just the thing you need.  Being down and feeling down.  Will keep you down.  Get something positive going. And stay in that mode.  We are all very sorry for your loss. It's never, ever easy. You still have those great memories. They arent going anywhere. Pick it up buddy!! Go do something fun.

Well said.  Again sorry to hear your loss, those pups really are special. Here's a quote form a guy on a bird hunting forum posted when one of my wirehairs passed on.    

"The sorrow we feel with the death of our canine companions is the ultimate price we pay for all the wonderful joy they brought to our lives every day of their existence....and all the heart warming memories that will be with us for our existence."    UplandGuide

Boy do we all know that feeling.   :(  It'll give you some memories to run through your head while on stand.

Sorry for the loss of your family member.  It's hard, but you gave him a great life.  The last German shorthair I saw was at PetSmart a couple of weeks ago.  He was on point.  Had those parakets nailed....  Instincts are great.
