The old girl retrieved 28 out of our 24 birds.

How much Crown Royal did you have before posting?

But it looks like you had a fun day.

I would take her hunting as well, let her live the life she enjoys most, for as long as she can.

Bessie has hunted Sadie very hard this fall. It’s been awesome seeing the pictures. She lives for it. If this is her last one, he has one for them both to remember! This is how a dog should live.

You and I both need to savour each fall. They won’t last forever.

That's ok Bessie, 5 out of 4 people don't understand how fractions work anyway.

Good job for Sadie, she is a good girl.

Thought a couple of retrieved birds woke up and got away on you! Had to retrieve them again! Nothing's happier than a dog with a job!
