Glad to hear the dog is doing her job -- making you happy!  A medical doctor friend of mine often prescribes getting a dog for mild depression, or if somebody has to face cancer and does not already have a dog. He is pretty serious about it too. According to him, studies (a number of them done in nursing homes) show that just the "feel good" feeling of petting a dog lowers blood pressure, and having a dog improves immune system function. Hell, just opening a " I got a new puppy!" thread like this one probably lowers my blood pressure 10 points! John

This is VERY COOL LBK! Its been a long time since I hunted behind a bird dog. When mine passed, I sold my shotguns and gave it up. If I couldn't hunt behind her, I didn't want to hunt. Perhaps that was a mistake! This is my dog 'Robin' as a pup...a long time ago in a galaxy far far away..... ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/robin.jpg) And Robin on a grouse hunt... ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/34990045.jpg) Nowadays the dogs I am around hunt bigger game. I LOVE your dog..................

Cool-looking dog! For some reason, the dogs with a patch on one eye seem to appeal to me. Glad to hear that your dog is adding to your life. In my experience, they always do. John

I too look forward to your Anticosti trip notes and pics. Was thinking of this year but rumors of the "winterkill" and first year in retirement kept me grounded. Maybe for my 65th in 2016!

I also hunted with labs most of my life. 12 years ago I got my first setter and love them all but my setters seem to have a personality about them. You are gonna have a joyous ride. She is one pretty setter.

I, too, love my setters! They are great companions. May you both share long, happy lives . . .
