Sunday morning visit to Lowe's. We went to buy a furnace filter, and ended up looking at EVERYthing. Even doors and light bulbs were incredibly interesting - says Tessa. In the plumbing section, we ran into a nice man who used to hunt pheasant in Wisconsin, and quail in Indiana, with his GSPs and GWP. Turned out, he spent some time in Giessen, Germany (near where I am from) during the Occupation after WWII. I thanked him for occupying us. Random conversations with strangers, are some of the moments in life that I treasure.
Fetch!

First hunt of the season, and what a gorgeous morning it was! During the 3-hour hunt, Tessa was steady to wing - and shot - 90% of the time. Tessa usually stays put until I release her (for safety reasons I insist on this) but since I was busy taking a photo of her on point, she took it upon herself to move toward the bird that had just fallen. While that produced a cool photo, it irked me a bit that we quit on that note; then again, some hunters prefer the dog taking off as the bird falls, as to not lose track of it, although we never had a problem with that.
As we were packing up, Tessa went on point a few feet from the truck - Chris had to unpack and reload his gun, and we added another 20 minutes to the hunt - which was fine with us!
