In reality, two new dogs sorta sucks but it woulda took a hard heart to turn 'em away, especially them waiting for their owner and hanging together the whole time the way they did. As long as that whole episode doesn't happen more'n once in twenty years I can deal with it.
As for shotguns, I've used pumps but not enough, I'm a guy who would prob'ly short stroke them under pressure, actually i really enjoy the simplicity of doubles.
