Meet The Family

As long as I'm in the mode of introducing this blog it would be an opportune moment to introduce a member of the family to you.

This is Girlfriend.







Girlfriend is my upland bird hunting companion and a regular member of the family. She's got more energy than sense but that's hardly a fault.


This picture was taken on a South Dakota pheasant hunt late last year.

Isn't she a handsome-looking specimen of the Labrador breed?

The girl is just getting over a bad case of tapeworm. Blech.

My lovely wife had taken the dog for a walk recently and went to scoop-up Girlfriend's number two business when (as she described it) a tapeworm reared its head from the turd like a snake-charmer's snake!

I called the vet about it and they asked the usual-

Breed?

Lab.

Hunting dog?

Yep.

Eats all manner of stuff in the woods?

Yep.

Bring in a stool sample and we'll get it squared-away for you.

Did you know that the Navajo word for dog is Eater of Feces?

That's my girl.
