More good times

I've been searching for bird dog blogs lately and I have found a few but not very many. Some are really good and it's fun looking through the archives and reading past posts. The problem with many of these is that they don't post very often if at all any more. I love reading about the trials and tribulations of owning a hunting dog. I picked up my first dog almost five years ago and I wish I would have written about our time together more often. There would be so much to write about especially my reaction to things as they happened. For instance:

1. Gus knocking over a huge garbage can in the kitchen while I was about to sit down and engulf a sub. When I went in to check out the ruckus Gus slipped past me to try to devour my sandwich... smart little bugger.

2. Going to the game farm for the first time with Gus and him chasing a killdeer about 1 mile while I yelled and blew on my whistle. This wasn't the last time a bird has forced me to chase down my dog but it was a great learning experience. I got an e-collar after that... wouldn't own a dog without one now.

3. Living in Rochester and replacing all the screens in the house because Gus wanted to get outside while I was at work. Don't worry he was always sitting in the front yard when I got home. I'm now a pro screen installer... I could work for a hardware store now for sure.

These are just some of the hundreds of stories and experiences I had as a young guy with a young and rambunctious gun dog. He will always hold a special place in my heart. We have spent so much time together and he has taught me so much.... much more than I have taught him.

Back to my original point of the post... If any of you know of any good blogs let me know I would love to check them out!
