Down in the basement laying in their travel kennels. I just washed and waxed the floors and they will be there for another hour.

I could have put them in the outside kennels but it is hot and muggy out there so the basement is more comfortable. It also looks like rain which, if it does, will mean they get to stay in the basement longer when they go outside.

Right now they are tucked away in their air conditioned kennels for the night after a jaunt around the yard. Each has been fed and are now gnawing on a raw beef rib bone for desert.

She's buried out in the backyard by the fence. I lost my Llewellyn in the 1st week of July. She was 9 1/2. I got her from Bruce-----he's Luv2Safari here on the fire. It still hurts.

My PP is waiting for me to come to bed. I had a bit of cancer a few yrs ago. During the treatments, my wife moved to the spare room as I wasn't sleeping well. The dog took her spot and never gave it up. smile

My stupid Lab won't retrieve. He's probably laying on the couch. Even if he would retrieve, his legs are so screwed up, he can hardly go up and down a flight of steps now.

attached to my wifes hip, sitting on the couch. We took our youngest to college yesterday and stayed overnight in the college town, to move her in this morning. COVID makes it hard to even go to college these days. It was the first night this hunting dog has ever spent alone without my wife or I in his 2.5 years.... he survived but was glad to see us return. He was able to stay in the house because our middle son was here with him, but he sleeps downstairs,,,,

Resting on the bed after a hard day of picking up doves for 4 hunters yesterday morning and afternoon. Unfortunately the corn stubble and hard ground did a number to her pads so I'll have to fetch my own tomorrow.

Right now they’re both asleep in their kennels.

Milo is the dad. He got a dozen retrieves on doves opening morning.

Otis is the son, the “derp” is strong in him. Due to poor shooting he only got one retrieve Friday night.

Tonight, my dogs are chained up in the backyard barking. I'm hoping they draw one of the coyote family groups yapping at each other close enough to give me a shot. The one is about 400 yards out in the hayfield but is hanging up. The other is 3/8 or so of a mile to the east of the first group and about that distance from the house.

My first setter had this decoy thing down well. He would howl on command and whatever he said it brought coyotes in. All my dogs before and since combined have not brought in half the number of coyotes as he did. I still miss him greatly.

My setters curled up asleep on the couch. 9/15 is the grouse opener here in Michigan and we’ll be in the woods. Like every other setter I’ve had the one thing that he loves more than bird hunting is hunting for a comfortable spot to sleep.

In his kennel at my son's home in Missouri. I had to take him out there when we moved down here last year. Figured I'd go get him about now. Problem is, my 12 yo grandson has turned into a pretty good dog handler and has really gotten into waterfowl hunting.... I already made the boy give me my Les Baer back (at least until I croak.) I don't think I could bear to take the dog now... It's okay, he's a good boy...both of them.

Just saw this thread.....sorry to hear about girl Rio7. You definitely won't replace her but I hope you have another puppy on the ground or in the works. You deserve each other and your old girl would approve.....

We have three GSPs in the house and my newest girl loves to get out but is a total snuggle-bug at home! She has some REALLY big paw prints to fill but I have high hopes for her......

My yellow lab is trying to find something to eat. Ice is hard on a retriever and he got plenty of it this weekend, picking up straps full of ducks. When I got home from work, wife said he's done nothing but sleep and then get up and beg for food.

I gave him an extra serving tonight and a few pieces of salmon off my plate, mixed in. He nerds to rest up, we are about to do it again.

This was my first setter, he was a Ryman named Whisky, weighed 100 lbs, what a gentle giant and lived to hunt. He was a pup here. [Linked Image from i.postimg.cc] He is all grown up here.

Some nice looking setters guys. A nice, calm, well put together setter ranks pretty high with me.

Yeah, dogs are also just fetching or sniffing machines to me as well, I never get attached to them either. <sarcasm off>

I think I recall a picture of one of your Llewellins (I think the name might have been Rocky) looking adoringly up at a young boy (who might have had some kind of grouse or partridge in his hand)

It was a beautiful picture - and a beautiful dog!

Could you post it again? I had no luck searching for it.

One is asleep next to the air conditioner, one under the ceiling fan, and the other on the ground at my feet. They look like they are asleep but if I even think of moving they are at attention before I can even stand up.

Woodcock season opens the 24th so it is close to go time and I think they know it.

Frolicking around the kitchen/living area with a chew toy. She’s 1 y/o now and makes a general nuisance of herself to the 11 y/o dog. She’s the most challenging Lab I’ve worked with so far. Everything’s a process with this dog. Lucky thing for her that she’s cute! 😁

The 11yo is snoring in the way too small dog bed in the living room, the 4 month old is snoring in his crate.

Going to run the pup in a bit, to make sure he snores in his crate this afternoon too.

Jenny is the last of the gang now. She has only one eye and lost two toes, can't hear, but she still loves a nose full of quail smell.

First off, I doubt my brindle colored Pitbull/Lab mix named Reggie could be classified as a Gun Dog. He is, by legal hunting aspects -- UNTRAINED. Rabbit hunting? He's tear the rabbit to pieces. Squirrel hunting? Same thing. Deer hunting? He'd take off after the deer and never be seen again. Hell, he'd probably be out in Buckingham County come nightfall, you know?

Anyway... Getting to the point: Whenever it gets cold here in Virginia and my wife and I light a fire in the fireplace. Reggie just has to lay right there on his bed in front of the fire. What a life!

He's doing a great job, IMO. Someone has to hold the flooring down in front of fireplaces. I want his job.

Mine is at the front window waiting for me to come home, which should be right now. It's "going for a walk" time when I get home.
