Might have been said but this is easily the best thread on all of TGR.
Anybody have health insurance for their dog? Recommendations?
CJ got into a scuffle at the dog park that ended up with a hole in his leg. My wallet's hurting a lot more than he is.
VIP Pet Insurance, but i think it has to be done as a puppy or you get killed with pre existing, or maybe as the dog is older they charge more can't remember.
Getting ready for trial season by working the dogs on wild birds. It doesn't get much more fun than this.
This I believe is my setter after the flush on the first bird.

Another point. As you can see it was tough to locate my dog once the bell stops.

One of her last points of the day.

He's looking great! Looks like a nice coarse coat. Be interesting to see how he does with burrs and iceballs.Quote:

I posted this somewhere else on the forum, but it is more fitting here.

^^^^^^^ Awesome photo!
.... HDL, sorry for your loss. We lost our dog Dallas in January. It's by far the worst thing I've ever been through. We recently got a new pup and it's great to have a furry friend running around the house again. I'll post some pics of the new guy soon.
HDL, Sorry for your loss... 14 years a long time, but only makes it harder, I'm sure. I'd love to see some pics of the dude if you're up for it.
Love it!

^^^^ cute pup
although dominating a newf is pretty much akin to being able to outski DBT
Vibes on the loss of your best friend heydukelives it's part of being a dog owner.
the shittiest part but a part non the less

Here's mine after running a very hard 120 yard water blind! She refused a few casts on the first try, and then lined it on the second. Not bad for a ditzy Irish Water Spaniel who is just learning to handle.
Some recent pics of my dog, Gracie: :)

I think it's time for Fall Days Afield thread. Three more weeks before grouse season opens here. I'm going to miss opening weekend due to a trial I'm running, but I'll be running around in the woods this weekend trying out my new Garmin Astro, and blank pistol. I'm going to try to bring the camera.Quote:

No hurry....just want Steve to discover grouse before he leaves for pointer camp tomorrow for a month. More curiosity than anything at this point.
I'll start the field thread.
Swimming critters
Decided to bring the camera on my hike with Zeke tonight.
