OMG! He is gorgeous !

I love Border Terriers, they entered my heart through a special one named Sam years ago....

Santa brought me a new pecker scrubber ?

Eldest son "re-gifted" to me this awesome dream catcher!!!



Yes, I will get even next elk hunt!!!

My sister sent me a tablet and then spent two hour on the phone instructing me on how to use it.

She's a Nancy Pelosi loving California liberal but I love anyways.

Yeah, I think my girls will spoil him rotten for sure. Over here Pete these pups are pretty rare, not as popular as they are in the UK. They are mostly bread for show dogs over here, although I will not show him but will do earth dog with him.

Hey, that has a key chain attached!

If you were hippie chick, you could put it to good use.

(Yeah, I'd get even too... )

My lady had my Kudu mounted for me

I worked mine a little on fox when he was younger, but just for confirmation of his working ability really. After that I trained him up for blood tracking deer and he did quite well..

With regards earth work on live quarry, you may find him a little slow to take an interest, but don't worry its not unusual in Borders.. Some just don't seem to take an interest until they are about 18 months old..If you have the patience to wait, these dogs tend to make very steady workers and don't get knocked up so much..Very often, as an older dog, they will carry on working after their more fiery counterparts burn them selves out..

If you do intend using him for working fox rather than earth trials, please, please get a good locator collar as your little buddy deserves the extra insurance they provide..

Regards,

Peter

Healthy children and wife.


Merry Christmas to my friends at the Campfire!

A buddy of mine who enjoys Bourbon was at a white elephant party and wound up with a 1.75 liter of Bulleit. I'd say he made out quite well.

Score!

Gifts are not just stuff. They are a measure of how important my love for you is. You give me schit? You move down the ladder. Give me good gifts? You win my love and friendship.

I thought I'd win gift of the year by giving my dad a Garand. But he one-upped me by getting my wife to get me down to the local shop just before we left on vacation. She made up some BS about looking for a gift for her dad.

When I got down there my buddy said "I got just the thing for your father-in-law." I was annoyed but didn't want to be rude so I stood at the counter thinking of all the better schit I could be doing while my buddy went down to the basement.

He came back and put a Kimber Montana in my hands. I told him "Don't show me schit like this around Christmas." He replied "All yours, here's the paperwork. Bought and paid for."

I looked at my wife and said "You bought this?" She replied: "Nope, your dad did. He says Merry Christmas."

My daughter made fudge.

dark chocolate fudge with coconut.

My son brought over some chocolate eggnog whiskey/brandy/bourbon mix.

I shot two deer.

ate like it was my last meal.

Good Christmas Eve service, replaced a lot of work clothing via gifts, harassed grandsons, took naps.

All in all, it was good.

Caliber?

.3 oh ain't.

I'm going to overlook this since it was a gift.

Life has been good to me lately after kicking me in the nuts 3 years ago.

My new attitude is that life is too short to not squeeze every drop of fun out of it while you can in any wholesome way that makes you happy. I did not have a pot to pizz in when I got engaged to my wife almost 30 years ago so I got her a major upgrade in rings. I knew that she would never ask so I just went out and did it. Personally, I couldn't care less for that kind of stuff but whatever.

So to get the point, My wife encouraged me to treat myself to whatever would make me happy so I did. A pair of restored to like new Ansley Fox SXS's upland guns. A 20 gauge Sterlingworth and an A grade 16 together with a 2 gun case.



The 16 was a joy to shoot last Saturday.

Sounds like a re-barrel project is in your future...

Nah. Just ordered another 1,000 Scenars.

We got some stuff from Mom. I haven't even looked yet. Gift cards I suspect and some cash. I bet Chilis card and 50 bucks for my birthday coming up.

Had more fun watching her open her gifts of photo albums from us and the god child opening his stuff.

Got a sweatshirt from our cousins(his parents).

Thats all.

The wife still loves me.

(Obviously)
