Gratuitous Bird and Dog Photos

It’s a drawing that a friend sent. He knows about Belles age. We have hunted quail for years in SW New Mexico with his two English setters and of course Belle. We cherish our dogs, hunting companions and friends. The sketch embodies my feelings regarding my Belle and dogs that have to heaven. MTG

Amen to that!

You all should read “Road to Tinkhamtown” by Corey Ford. My favorite short story by far.

It may have been a little windy.

6 covey day yesterday. Took a few pics. Only ran the one field. It’s been better than earlier in the season, getting points every outing, but covey sizes are small - 44 birds over the 6 coveys. Last season there was ~100 birds in this single field this time of year. I could’ve flown a falcon and had enough game to keep me going, but, oh well, Greta is having fun regardless of any bird-on-bird violence transpiring.





The point and release to flush.

Best year of roosters I've ever had. The fellas have been banging roosters like a screen door from October until today!

I like that ol' graybeard black lab. Handsome fella.

And so it begins again. Picked up new 7 week old female lab puppy last evening. I had forgotten how much work they can be, for two of us. She slept all night and in the morning crapped all over her bed and cage before we could get her outside. Oh well. The duties of taking care of a puppy. We named her Chloe after another dog long gone. More to follow.

What a little doll, puppies are so cute, but lots of work, have fun.

Setter is recovering from stitches from last weekend. I took out my other bird dog that spends most of her time duck hunting. A few good points on grey partridge today and one sparrow.

This describes so much that has happened to so many of us dog owners. It is not an original from this old hunter. But, says so much. MTG

Back in the upland game with a new WHPG pup! All indicators point to a great 2025
