but NOT PERFECT as we spent yesterday afternoon at the vet’s office removing porcupine quills.
After enjoying the best bird hunting year in a long while, we finished the season with our first porkie encounter of the year. It is amazing when you count the days we have spent hunting since September.
Although the two Brits will be okay (they’re demanding to hunt the very next day), it was uncomfortable for the dogs and the wallet.
Two weeks ago we had to have Ruby put down as she no longer had use of her hind legs.
Any of you who had the privilege of hunting behind Ruby know why this is so hard to report. All other dogs will be compared or contrasted to her. Her patience while circling a running cock pheasant may never be matched. I see flashes of the old girl in the youngster Duke. Time will tell if he will measure! Goodbye old friend.
