I'm taking my "bird dog" out and letting him embarrass me this afternoon at a friends farm. After missing some birds and watching the worlds worst bird dog run around and make a fool of himself for a couple of hours we are going to retreat to the big screen for cold beer and steaks and tell lies and watch games on the 50".

It ought to be a good afternoon.

Last weekend a guy dropped a collared dove in the river, my dog made a beautiful dive, swam out got the bird then swam to opposite bank of the river spit out the bird and took off for two hours. He is a 100% pure bred pilot hound apparently...
