Bird Dogs!
Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2009 10:17 am
I love to hunt Upland Birds! However, it is real hard to do so without a good dog or couple of good BIRD DOGS right? Well, yesterday the wife and I were a little on edge while in our home because one of our bird dogs, Greta was giving birth to her puppies.
She dropped 3 of those little rascals 22 minutes apart and then things got tense. It was another hour before the next one came calling. We got a bit of a breather as the next puppy hit the deck some 50 minutes later and then almost an hour and half on the last one.
So my wife says to me this morning, how many puppies does Greta have now and I say: We counted 5 nice puppies! The wife says you better come count them again......Holy Cow! It looks like Greta was busy after we went to bed. Now 3 hours and no puppies later I figured she was done right, well I got a surprize this morning as she gave us some more little guys.
