Whew! I have not been on this forum for several years, and I haven't been able to put into mere words the sense of loss I have felt after Clora Karen called me to share the dreadful news of Jim's passing. It was like a punch in the gut, and I have needed to think about it, and him, for a few...

Get ready to love a dog! ;:)

I hunted there yearly from 1989 until about ten to fifteen years ago, and had good luck, but in recent years I haven't bothered. The places I hunted changed farming practices and the lack of cover dried up the hunting pretty much. Not real sure what happened. There were some severe winters...

S.E. Nebraska late nineties, I was hunting with a friend and my farmer friend. It was our last hour to hunt before heading for home in GA. We agreed it was time to leave or we'd be late for work the next day. I had two in the bag, and I said as we walked to toward the field edge and our...

Thanks for posting this . There is nothing better than a hunt with "Gentleman Bob". Brought back some really good memories of when Georgia had quail!

Any "new dog" of any age coming into your homewill require a period of adjustment and training by you and your family. No one else can train your dog to mind you. Sure a professional can train your dog to mind him, but unless you are also his pupile for a bit your dog will revert to your dog...

I guess I have been in denial about this ,but Wednesday of last week My girl Sadie somehow broke her left rear leg at the hock joint. I believe it happened after I "flushed" a chipmonk out of a wood pile. I was workinhg in and around my vegetable garden and noticed her searching all around a...

That is good news indeed and I am glad for you and for him. I retired from Vet Med practice in 2010, but I would like to discuss a treatment you could have done if you are prepared in advance. I used it in my practice and it works almost like a miracle. PM me if you are interested and I will...

Is Murray better?

Lots of excellent advice here from everybody... We 're all still learning too, us and the dogs!

This is treated with yard work training and never EVER call the dog and discipline her when you finally get her to you. If she need discipline stop calling her and just go catch her, but it is a mistake to ever ever hit your dog. It will never forget it when you do. Teach sit, then stay or...

Nice pictures!

I used to tell folks this in my practice... It is good advice. I suggested a cardboard box just big enough for the pup to curl up. Put a towel in the bottom for accidents with another under the box and a plastic garbage bag under thatone just in case it bleeds through. Scotch it beside the...
